As a former player, Bundy ran out for Racing Club Narbonne, Nottingham and Scotland U20s, before turning his attention to coaching.

The former head coach of Leicester Tigers Women began his coaching career as head coach at Rotterdam Rugby and was retained as a consultant coach after a successful first season with the Dutch team.

Exeter City forward Elliott Chamberlain has joined Bath City on a month-long loan deal.

Chamberlain, whose wages at St James Park are paid by the 1931 Fund (a group of supporters who every year opt to fund a players’ wages), has been progressing well in training, and now has the opportunity to play more first-team football over the next four weeks with the Romans.

He will be available for tomorrow night’s fixture against Welling at Twerton Park, before Staines are the visitors on Saturday – and a total of nine fixtures are scheduled for Bath in the coming month. City...

More teams needed for New Futsal League

Exeter’s first ever futsal league has got off to a flying start - so much so that a new league is starting next month after much interest was shown in the short taster league, which finishes soon.

The competition has been set up to raise awareness of the benefits of playing futsal as opposed to traditional five-a-side football, and the Football in the Community Charity is looking for more five-a-side teams to join the men’s league in Exeter.

The new season will be starting on Sunday 10 February at St James High School in Summer Lane...

Exeter Chiefs coach Ricky Pellow says lessons learned from the club's first-ever experience of the Heineken Cup will prove invaluable in the future growth of the Devon outfit.

Recent defeats to Clermont Auvergne and Leinster brought to an end Exeter's European exploits for another season, but Pellow says the challenge of tackling two of the heavyweights clubs in the Northern Hemisphere has served a meaningful purpose.

Rearranged date for City’s trip to Bristol Rovers announced

The rearranged date for Exeter City’s trip to Bristol Rovers has been announced as Wednesday 6th March (7.45pm).

Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter has made his first signing for next season with the capture of Welsh international Tom James from the Cardiff Blues.

The 25-year-old winger, who has agreed a two-year deal with the Aviva Premiership club, joins the Chiefs after a successful seven-year stint with the Welsh region.

Capped ten times by his country, James was on the score sheet when the Blues defeated Gloucester 50-12 in 2008 to lift the EDF Energy Cup, and he was also part of Cardiff’s Amlin Challenge Cup winning squad of 2010.
