Christmas has certainly come early for supporters of the Exeter Chiefs after it was confirmed two more of their senior stars have agreed new contracts with the Aviva Premiership.

Just days after full-back Luke Arscott committed his immediate future to the Sandy Park outfit, prop Brett Sturgess and fly-half Gareth Steenson have followed suit by agreeing similar two-year deals. The announcement is yet another welcome boost for head coach Rob Baxter, who has made no secret of his desire to tie down the futures of a number of his frontline stars. Speaking after his side's narrow loss...

Freddie Burns stuck the boot into Exeter Chiefs ahead of Christmas as he kicked his Gloucester team to a narrow 18-16 Aviva Premiership victory at Kingsholm, writes Mark Stevens.

The England starlet landed all 18 points for the Cherry & Whites as his six penalties ended the Devon club’s impressive seven-game winning streak in all competitions.

The Chiefs, however, played their part in an absorbing contest as Simon Alcott’s second half try, coupled with 11 points from the boot of Gareth Steenson, at least ensured the Devonians headed back down the wet M5 with a...

Exeter Chiefs may have notched up an impressive seven-game winning streak, but club captain Tom Hayes insists nobody inside the Sandy Park is getting carried away with their impressive form. Tomorrow, the Chiefs hit the halfway point in this season's Aviva Premiership season with a testing trip to Gloucester, who themselves will be looking to claim an early Christmas present at Kingsholm (3pm). However, Rob Baxter's Chiefs will travel in confident mood, having not only recorded back-to-back Heineken Cup wins over Scarlets in the past fortnight, but safe in the knowledge that they know how...

With 63 appearances for the club, Arscott is indeed a prized asset within the Chiefs ranks and...
