Newcomer Shaun Malton says he’s ready to start an “exciting new chapter in his life” after he became the latest addition to Rob Baxter’s first team squad at Exeter Chiefs.
The South African-born hooker is the Devon club’s fifth new addition ahead of the 2015/16 season and joins on a two-year deal from Championship outfit Nottingham.
Malton, who has previously had spells with London Irish and also the Sharks in the Currie Cup, admitted the chance to join the Aviva Premiership club was an opportunity he simply could not resist.
Dean Mumm admits it will be with a heavy heart that he will bring to an end his Exeter Chiefs career at the end of the 2014/15 season.
The Australian international confirmed on Sunday night that he will be heading back home this summer to re-join former club the NSW Waratahs on a one-year deal – and with the aim of also trying to force his way into the Wallabies squad for this Autumn’s Rugby World Cup here in England.
Mumm has been a revelation at Sandy Park ever since he joined the Chiefs in 2012 and his actions, both on and off the field, have won him many admirers....
Match report: Leicester Tigers 22 Exeter Chiefs 30
Exeter Chiefs remain on course to become the first-ever side to defend the LV= Cup after they saw off rivals Leicester Tigers in a pulsating encounter in the East Midlands.
Rob Baxter’s side booked themselves a final date against Saracens next Sunday having produced a dogged, yet determined display against their illustrious hosts.
Tongan duo Elvis Taione and Fetu’u Vainikolo both claimed a try apiece in the first half, whilst the metronomic boot of skipper Ceri Sweeney was good enough to keep the Tigers at bay for...
Phil Dollman believes Exeter Chiefs have their seasonal destiny firmly in their own hands as they look to attack on three different fronts between now and the end of the campaign.
After four successive Aviva Premiership victories - the latest being a record-breaking 74-19 success over winless London Welsh - the Chiefs are not only sitting second in the league standings, but are nicely placed to also attack the latter stages of both the European Challenge and LV= Cups.
It was around this time a year ago that Rob Baxter's side collected their first-ever piece of major...
Exeter Chiefs fly half Henry Slade is included in the England squad preparing to face Scotland in the RBS 6 Nations clash on Saturday after Brad Barritt was ruled out of the reminder of the tournament.
The Devon-born 21 year-old, who has featured impressively at inside and outside centre for his club this term, replaces unlucky Barritt after the Saracens centre who suffered an ankle sprain against Wasps on Sunday.
With Sunday's Leicester Tigers vs Newcastle Falcons match also affecting the availability of players to train, Bath Rugby hooker Rob Webber comes in for Tom...
Ali Hepher says Exeter Chiefs will go “full bore” at ensuring this latest block of Aviva Premiership fixtures finishes on a high note.
Having notched up successive league wins over Newcastle Falcons, Harlequins and Bath to move to third in the current standings, the Devon club will now be looking to add the scalp of lowly London Welsh to their list of victims at Sandy Park today (3pm).
It’s certainly been an encouraging response from the Chiefs, who either side of Christmas lost four games on the bounce in the top flight.
Newton Abbot RFC and the Exeter Chiefs have announced a three day Rugby Training Camp this Easter at Newton Abbot Rugby Club starting on Monday 30th March to Wednesday 1st April.
The cost of the camp is £40 for two days with the third day thrown in for free, courtesy of Exeter Chiefs and Centrax, one of Exeter Chiefs key sponsors.
Open to boys and girls from 5 years to 14 years old, the camp has been organised to teach young rugby enthusiasts rugby and multi sports skills from qualified coaches in a fun, action packed environment.
Will Chudley had only just trooped off the Sandy Park pitch following a first-ever Aviva Premiership win over Bath, but already the Exeter Chiefs scrum-half was focusing his thoughts on the next task in hand.
The Chiefs clocked up their third successive top flight victory on Saturday, as 11 points from the boot of Henry Slade and Chudley's late try helped secure a 16-6 victory against their nearest and dearest.
Exeter's success helped to propel Rob Baxter's side back into the top three with just six rounds of domestic league action remaining.
It had to happen one day, but Exeter Chiefs finally banished their ‘Bath hoodoo’ by defeating their local rivals in a pulsating Aviva Premiership encounter at a sold-out Sandy Park.
Having failed to defeat their nearest and dearest in nine previous top flight attempts, Rob Baxter’s men stood tall to claim a priceless victory that lifted them to third in the current standings.
Fly-half Henry Slade slotted three penalties for the home side, as well as converting Will Chudley’s all-important try, six minutes from time....
Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter believes new signing Michele Campagnaro can help add some additional ‘X-Factor’ to his side’s back division next season.
Having already bolstered his options with the recruitment of both Geoff Parling and Ollie Woodburn in recent weeks, Baxter has ventured a little further afield for his third new capture who joins from Rabo ProDirect 12 side Benetton Treviso.
As always, the Chiefs supremo and his coaching team have monitored Campagnaro’s performance for some time and having put together a detailed assessment of the Mirano-born back, they...
