Geoff Parling says he’s ready to start a new chapter of his playing career after today agreeing terms on a two-year contract with the Exeter Chiefs.
The England and British Lions forward is Rob Baxter’s first major signing ahead of the 2015/16 season and joins from Aviva Premiership rivals Leicester Tigers.
Signed by the Tigers in 2009 from Newcastle Falcons, the 31-year-old has enjoyed a stellar spell at Welford Road where he helped the East Midlands club to twice lift English rugby’s Premiership title, as well as featuring in all three Test matches for the Lions against...

Ian Whitten believes he and his Exeter Chiefs team-mates must use the joy of European qualification as the driving force to kick on further in the defence of their LV= Cup crown.
Having booked a home date with Newcastle Falcons in the last eight of this season’s European Challenge Cup with victory over Bayonne last weekend, attention at Sandy Park this week has now switched to this Sunday’s showdown with the Dragons at Rodney Parade (2:30pm).
With home wins over league rivals Gloucester and Bath already accrued in this season’s LV= Cup, the Chiefs will be looking to further...
Rob Baxter has hailed Ben White as one of the “success stories” of Exeter Chiefs after the all-action forward today agreed terms on a new two-year deal with the club.
White, who joined the Chiefs in 2011 from the Cardiff Blues, is the latest in a line of current Exeter stars to re-affirm their commitment to the Devon club in recent weeks.
A destructive on-field force, the Australian-born back-row ace has to date amassed 84 appearances, scoring 15 tries in the process.
Since arriving from the Welsh region, White has helped play an integral part in the rise of the...
Rob Baxter believes the incentive of a home quarter-final can act as the ideal motivation for his Exeter Chiefs side ahead of their final Pool Two fixture against Bayonne in this season's European Challenge Cup (5.30pm) today.
Having already bagged themselves a last eight spot courtesy of last weekend's 33-24 win at Connacht, the Chiefs will be looking to put the gloss on what has been an impressive European campaign to date. Standing in their way, however, are their Top 14 rivals, who despite not being able to advance to the latter stages, will themselves be looking to finish on a...
Ben White is looking forward to an exciting future after he became the latest Exeter Chiefs player to commit his long-term future to the Aviva Premiership club.
Now into his fourth season at Sandy Park, the 31-year-old forward has established himself as a key member within Rob Baxter’s first-team squad, amassing 84 appearances and 15 tries since his move from Cardiff Blues in 2011.
Australian-born White follows the lead of Gareth Steenson, Dave Lewis, Ben Moon, Carl Rimmer and Kai Horstmann in agreeing terms on a new deal with the Devon club in recent weeks.
A powerful second half display saw Exeter Chiefs book their place in the last eight of this season’s European Challenge Cup with victory away to Connacht.
Having trailed 17-10 at the break, Rob Baxter’s side scored 23 unanswered points after the break to secure their fourth win in this season’s competition.
Connacht shaded a tight first half thanks to tries from Matt Healy, Willie Faloon and Danie Poolman, the last of which was converted by fly-half Jack Carty, whilst the Chiefs countered with a penalty try and a penalty from Henry Slade.
It is now officially Rugby World Cup Year in Exeter and across the UK.
Devon and Cornwall Police have been planning for this prestigious event since March 2014. A specialist team of officers has been working with management at Sandy Park rugby stadium and with a multitude of partner agencies including England 2015, the world cup organisers, and local authorities.
Placing Exeter on the world stage means that the team has planned for the security of visiting heads of state and politicians from around the world, and are aware of any potential risks.
The European credentials of Exeter Chiefs will be put firmly to the test this weekend when Rob Baxter leads his side into battle at Connacht this Sunday (3.15pm).
After a difficult month of action in the Aviva Premiership, the switch to European Challenge Cup action could not have been better timed for the Devon club, who head into this weekend’s tussle top of Pool Two and two points clear of their Irish hosts.
Connacht, though, are a tough nut to crack at the Galway Sportsground and their impressive European record - which reads 10 wins in their last 12 home games - means...
Exeter Chiefs have bolstered their front-row options with the signing of young prop Alec Hepburn from Australian club Perth Spirit.
The 21-year-old forward, who has previously enjoyed spells with Wasps and London Welsh, has signed a deal that will keep him at Sandy Park until 2017.
Brought into the Chiefs this week by head coach Rob Baxter, Hepburn was a member of the victorious England Under-20s side that won the Junior World Championship in France two years ago, lining up alongside current Exeter young guns Luke Cowan-Dickie, Joel Conlon, Sam Hill, Henry Slade and Jack...
