Career

Exeter City

Sercombe came through the youth ranks at Exeter City, and signed a full professional contract with the club in June 2007.[1]

Sercombe made a number of appearances at reserve team level before making his debut on 11 August 2007 against Altrincham in the Conference National, coming on after just 11 minutes to replace the injured Andy Taylor. Exeter went on to win the match 4–1.[2]

Sercombe made seven appearances helping Exeter win promotion to League Two after a five-year absence, as they beat Torquay United in the play-off semi-finals,[3] and then beat Cambridge United 1–0 in the final at Wembley Stadium.[4]

Sercombe began to play more regularly the following season and scored his first goal on 21 October 2008 as Exeter beat Port Vale 3–1 at Vale Park.[5] He scored his second goal for the club in a 2–1 away win against Luton Town.[6]

Exeter achieved successive promotions, and Sercombe helped them seal promotion as they beat Rotherham United 1–0 away on the final day of the season, with manager Paul Tisdale guiding Exeter to League One for only the fourth time in their 105-year history.[7]

On 20 March 2010, Sercombe scored in a 2–2 draw against Wycombe Wanderers.[8]

Sercombe scored his first goal of the 2010–11 season in a 5–1 win against Sheffield Wednesday.[9] Sercombe scored two other goals that season, coming in a 3–1 win against Charlton Athletic,[10] and a 1–1 draw against Tranmere Rovers.[11]

On 9 April 2012, Sercombe scored twice as Exeter beat Leyton Orient 3–0 at St James Park.[12] The following game, he scored in a 3–2 defeat to relegation rivals Rochdale. He had given Exeter a 2–0 lead at the time, however Rochdale scored three times in the last 10 minutes of the game to win the game 3–2.[13] Sercombe scored again the following game, this time in a 4–2 home win against Walsall.[14] On 28 April, he scored for the fourth game in a row, however Exeter lost the game 4–1 to Carlisle United and were relegated from League One.[15]

Oxford United

On 13 May 2015, Sercombe signed a two-year contract with Oxford United after his contract expired with former club Exeter City.[16] He scored a career-best total of 17 goals from the centre of midfield in his first season, helping the Us secure promotion to League One.
