Exeter manager Matt Taylor said, "Vinnie is a player who is familiar with our fans and knows the football club really well and some of the current squad from his previous spell with us." Taylor added, "Although he is still young at 25, he will bring experience to the squad of playing in League One and Two. He will provide physicality and quality to the outside of the pitch, and he is an outstanding 1v1 defender."
