Australian Pat Phibbs has today agreed a short-term deal to stay with the Exeter Chiefs.
With Dave Lewis currently sidelined with an elbow injury and fellow scrum-half Haydn Thomas having taken a bang to the head in last Friday's win at Gloucester, Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter is keen to ensure he has sufficient cover in the half-back role.
Phibbs - who is in his second spell with the Devon club - initially joined a few weeks ago on trial, but his efforts in both training and for the Braves in the Aviva Premiership A League have clearly impressed Baxter to reward the 32-...
Law firm Ashfords LLP are pleased to announce their sponsorship of players for this coming season.
Ashfords are delighted to be sponsoring Fly Half, Henry Slade again this season. Henry had a fantastic season last year, he broke into the first team on a regular basis and was selected for the England squad as well as playing against the Barbarians. Ashfords will also be sponsoring two talented and up-and-coming players: Laurence May (Fly Half) and Jack Maunder (Scrum Half).
Graham Cridland, partner at Ashfords, commented: "Everyone at Ashfords was delighted to see Henry have...
Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter has spoken of his delight after Henry Slade this week put pen to paper on a new three-year deal with the Aviva Premiership.
Having already accrued the services of fellow young guns Jack Nowell, Luke Cowan-Dickie, Dave Ewers and Sam Hill until the summer of 2017, the 21-year-old playmaker has joined his colleagues in committing his future to the Sandy Park club.
It was - according to the Plymouth-born back - a simple decision to make and now he aims to kick on further and help the Chiefs to build for the future.

It's a term Rob Baxter insists he will use a lot this season, but the Exeter Chiefs head coach says "enjoyment" is very much part and parcel of his side's long-term make-up.
Devon's finest return to Aviva Premiership action tomorrow night at Gloucester determined to get back on track immediately following their narrow loss at home to Leicester Tigers last Saturday.
In a performance which Baxter described post-match as somewhat "frustrating" - the Chiefs leader knows not a lot needs tinkering with to ensure his side can get over the finishing line against the division's top...
Ian Whitten believes a more clinical approach from the Exeter Chiefs is key if they are to topple the elite sides in this season’s Aviva Premiership.
Not for the first time in his playing career at Sandy Park, the 27-year-old Irishman saw his side fall just short of overcoming one of English rugby’s leading lights as they went down 24-20 to Leicester Tigers last Saturday.
In a theme similar to that of several encounters last season, the Chiefs failed to hold onto their half-time advantage and it was the Tigers who came back to claim a vital away-day win.
Not for the first time in their illustrious history, Leicester Tigers played the role of ‘party poopers’ as they came from behind to sink hosts Exeter Chiefs.
As Devon’s finest opened their doors for the first time since the multi-million pound redevelopment of Sandy Park this summer, it was the boot of England international Freddie Burns that ultimately guided his side to success in Devon.
The summer signing from Gloucester has wasted little time in settling into his new surroundings and his 11-point haul, together with tries from Anthony Allen and Ben Youngs, plus a late...
Exeter Chiefs may have started the new Aviva Premiership season with a bang at London Welsh last weekend, but head coach Rob Baxter knows a much tougher challenge awaits his side when Leicester Tigers arrive in town tomorrow (3.15pm). A 52-0 drubbing of the league's newcomers is always nice to crow about after week one, but Baxter insists the Tigers are a totally different kettle of fish and a quick glance at the league history is testament to that very fact. The Midlanders have been crowned Premiership Kings on ten different occasions and having missed out on their annual pilgrimage to...
Exeter Chiefs newcomer Thomas Waldrom says the Devon club can ill afford to take a backward step when they lock horns with his former club Leicester Tigers this Saturday at Sandy Park (3.15pm). Having departed the East Midlands this summer for a new start in the Westcountry, the experienced No.8 wasted little time in making his mark for Rob Baxter's side, scoring two tries on his league debut in Exeter's 52-0 thumping of newly-promoted London Welsh. It was a dream start not only for Waldrom and the Chiefs, but the England international knows a much stiffer test awaits his new club when the...
Exeter Chiefs are ready to hit new heights in the 2014/15 season after the club confirmed a new two-year sponsorship deal with Europe’s largest regional airline Flybe.
This will see the Exeter-based airline continuing its branding sponsorship with the Chiefs, that will now include appearing on the official playing shirts for the first time as the team competes again for Aviva Premiership honours.
Embarking on a fifth season of working together, the agreement helps underline the continued sponsorship Flybe has given to the Chiefs since their promotion into English rugby's...
