Among those confirmed so far will be Canadian hooker and crowd favourite Emily Tuttosi who is heading back to Canada to take on a coaching role. The 30-year-old joined Chiefs in their inaugural season. She has played 88 games for the club and scored 31 tries.

Tuttosi will be joined on the leavers’ list by former Ireland captain Edel ‘Tricky’ McMahon, who has been with the club since 2022. Operations to both knees have meant the flanker has not been able take part in the 2025/26...

Chiefs lose by a point to Gloucester

Match report: Exeter Chiefs 25 Gloucester 26

Unlike Game One of their Aviva Premiership existence, Exeter’s 100th top flight encounter failed to bring the same rewards for Rob Baxter’s side, writes Mark Stevens.

Back in September 2010, the Chiefs stunned the rugby world when they saw off visiting Gloucester 22-10 thanks to a Mark Foster try and the deadly boot of Gareth Steenson.

Five years down the line, Devon’s finest have grown in stature, forging themselves as one of England’s leading lights.

On this occasion, though, Steenson was unable to repeat the...

Exeter City lose in extra time

Match report: Exeter City 1 Accrington 2

Exeter City opened the calendar year with a disappointing defeat at home to Accrington Stanley, who came from behind to win 2-1.

Tom Nichols’ ninth goal of the season had Exeter in the ascendency at the interval, but Seamus McCartan had the visitors level midway through the second period.

Just minutes after Tom Aldred denied Nichols a winner with a goal-line block, the Stanley centre-half slotted in a rebound at the other end to secure the points in stoppage-time.

As in City’s previous home game against Cheltenham,...

City's Matt Grimes signs for Swansea City

Exeter City midfielder Matt Grimes has completed a transfer to Barclays Premier League side Swansea City.

The 19-year-old moves for an undisclosed but substantial transfer fee, which makes him comfortably the record sale in Exeter City’s history.

Exminster-born Grimes, who first joined club’s the Academy system at the Cat & Fiddle at the age of 10, was offered a professional contract in the summer of 2013 after working his way through the age-groups.

He made his debut in last season’s 2-0 home win against AFC Wimbledon and went on to play a total of 62 times in...

Exeter Chiefs side to face Gloucester

It all began with a home fixture against Gloucester and now 99 Aviva Premiership games later, it’s the Cherry & Whites who again provide the opposition for Exeter Chiefs as they prepare to engage in their 100th top flight game tomorrow (4:30pm).

Back in September 2010, Rob Baxter’s side wasted little time in introducing themselves to English rugby’s top table for the first time. Taking little notice of Gloucester’s proven Premiership credentials, the new kids on the block sounded their future intent by bloodying the nose of their rivals, claiming a memorable 22-10 success at...

Exeter City at home to start the New Year

Match preview: Exeter City v Accrington Stanley

It was only recently that the Exeter City and Accrington Stanley met at the Crown Ground in Sky Bet League 2, with the Grecians 3-2 winners that evening.

Five weeks on, the teams meet again – this time in front of the St James Park crowd for the inaugural game of 2015. With two home clean-sheets on the bounce, City will be aiming to secure a third and using that as a base for victory.

The congested Christmas period was somewhat lessened for Stanley, who didn’t have a fixture last Sunday after their home tie against...

Jess wants to start New Year on a high

Matt Jess wants Exeter Chiefs to kick-start the New Year with a bang as they play host to Gloucester in their latest Aviva Premiership encounter at Sandy Park on Saturday (4:30pm).

Having seen a sparkling 2014 lose a semblance of it's fizz with back-to-back defeats against Sale Sharks and Bath Rugby, Rob Baxter's side are hoping a return to home comforts this weekend will give them the perfect pick-me-up.

Sitting fourth in the standings at the halfway stage and top of both their European and LV= Cup pools, the long-serving Chiefs winger insists there is plenty to be...
