After a stellar debut season, Exeter Chiefs and winger Paul Brown-Bampoe have agreed a new contract extension.
It is no secret that the 23-year-old has enjoyed one of the strongest breakthrough seasons of recent years, as the youngster went from being on loan to Plymouth Albion to scoring against Bordeaux Begles in an Investec Champions Cup clash.
“I am delighted to be re-signing at Chiefs,” Brown-Bampoe said. “It’s an environment that has allowed me to grow both my understanding and passion for the game.
“The Chiefs faithful have accepted me as one of their own...
Exeter Chiefs Women have signed versatile forward Lola Whitley from Gloucester-Hartpury.
The 21-year-old is equally comfortable at lock and in the back-row and played for England U20s last year.
Initially more of a fan of athletics, 100 metres and high jump in particular, Whitley began playing rugby at Sudbury RFC aged 13 when a friend dragged her along to a game. She started off on the wing and scored 10 tries in that first match.
She said: “I was pretty awful, but I just loved running though people!”
Part of large girls’ programme at Sudbury, Whitley...

Exeter Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter hopes to see a different side to his team after insisting tomorrow's visit of London Irish in the Aviva Premiership is a "must-win" encounter (3pm).
With just one win in their last eight top flight fixtures, Baxter has seen his side slip from top four hopefuls to that of a team now positioned in eighth spot, some nine points adrift of sixth-placed Sale Sharks.
However, the Chiefs leader is hoping this weekend's return to home comforts against the visiting Exiles will help to re-ignite his side's chances.
