Former Exeter City midfielder Matt Grimes says he is getting used to life at a Premier League club. The 19-year-old midfielder was sold to Swansea City just over two weeks ago - netting Exeter City a club record fee for a transfer sale of £1.75m. He has yet to feature for the Swansea City first team but, talking to BBC Spotlight, Grimes admitted it would take him time to adjust to football at a higher level. "The intensity in training and the speed and sharpness on the ball is something that it is going to take me a little while to get used to," said Grimes. "But I feel like every day I'm finding my feet more and more so it is all positive." Grimes also took time to praise Exeter City's academy. He joined the club's youth set-up from a very young age and he says that he owes a lot to the coaching set-up at City. "They have nutured me and kept me playing even when I was going through a bit of a wobbly stage at under-13 and under-14s," he said. "They kept me playing and kept teaching me and I kept learning and it has got me to where I am today."
