Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter has spoken of his delight after highly-rated forward Luke Cowan-Dickie today put pen to paper on a new contract with the Aviva Premiership club.
The 20-year-old’s new deal – which is a two-year extension to his current contract – will keep him at Sandy Park until at least the summer of 2017 and is another clear indicator that Baxter is willing to back the club’s crop of promising youngsters to deliver on the big stage.
Cornishman Cowan-Dickie, a product of the club’s academy system at Truro College, has built on the success of helping...

Exeter Chiefs saw their hopes of lining up alongside Europe’s elite next season finally ended as a late Tom Guest have Harlequins a narrow victory in a pulsating encounter at Sandy Park.

It was indeed a bitter pill to swallow for the Chiefs who, it has to be...
