The 27-year-old winger is Rob Baxter’s first new signing ahead of the 2018/19 season and is a prominent new addition to the Chiefs squad.

Rob Baxter says he expects to see a response of sorts from his Exeter Chiefs side in the wake of last weekend’s Aviva Premiership defeat at home to Worcester Warriors. The reigning champions not only slipped to a second successive league defeat in their 6-5 reverse, but at the same time saw their lengthy unbeaten home record in the top flight – which dates back to October 2016 – come to an abrupt end. Now, the Chiefs Director of Rugby is looking for his team to bounce back at the first attempt in their top four clash with arch rivals Wasps on Sunday at the Ricoh Arena (3pm). “I’ve never...
Thomas Waldrom has today confirmed he is to leave the Exeter Chiefs at the end of the current 2017/18 season.
The free-scoring No.8, who has scored 50 tries in 91 appearances for the club to date, says the time has now come for him to return home to his native New Zealand with his family.
His departure after four seasons with the Chiefs will undoubtedly be felt by everyone at Sandy Park, particularly given his outstanding form since arriving from Aviva Premiership rivals Leicester Tigers in 2014, but he insists he still has plenty to play for between now and the end of the...
Exeter Chiefs Director of Rugby Rob Baxter says he is "excited" what Santiago Cordero can bring after he today agreed a contract with the Devon club until the end of the season.

The 24-year-old, who can play either wing or full-back, arrives at Sandy Park with 33 caps and 11...

Rob Baxter has challenged his Exeter Chiefs side to build on their impressive form of late when they return to Aviva Premiership action at Sale Sharks tomorrow night (7:45pm).
A decent league win over Newcastle Falcons at Sandy Park have been followed by equally strong showings in Europe, where the Chiefs have seen off both Glasgow Warriors and Montpellier, to give them a winning start to life in Pool 3 of the competition.
Now, Devon's finest must go again in the North West against a Sharks outfit who are notoriously tough opponents in home waters.
Rob Baxter had called for his Exeter Chiefs side to “stand and deliver” and they did just that as they kicked off their European Champions Cup campaign with a hard fought victory over Glasgow Warriors at Sandy Park.
