The Exeter Chiefs Foundation, the club’s official charity, is today set to benefit to the tune of £350,000.

The six-figure sum has been donated to the Foundation by the club’s board of directors, who voted unanimously to hand over the share of money provided to the other 12 Gallagher Premiership clubs, including the Chiefs, following the fine imposed on Saracens after being found guilty of breaching the league’s stringent salary cap regulations.

In November, Saracens were docked 35 league points and fined £5.3m by an independent review panel after they “failed to disclose...

Jonny Gray says he's "excited" at the challenge that lies ahead after he today sealed a move to Gallagher Premiership outfit Exeter Chiefs.

The 25-year-old will head to Sandy Park at the start of next season on a two-year deal, bringing to a close a hugely successful spell with Glasgow Warriors.

The Scotland lock is Rob Baxter's first confirmed new arrival ahead of the 2020/21 season – and comes just 12 months after international team-mate Stuart Hogg agreed a similar switch from Scotstoun.

Like Hogg before him, Gray says the opportunity to test himself in a new...

Another major grant of £25,000 was made to Exeter Deaf Academy to help pay for the...

Premiership Champions Exeter Chiefs recently swapped their training ground at Sandy Park, Exeter for the award-winning Salcombe Distilling Co. in the beautiful seaside town of Salcombe. These highly skilled team players used their charisma and flair to raise the bar creating delicious Salcombe Gin cocktails.

It was then head to head in a play-off to design and develop their very own bottle of gin at the Salcombe Gin School accompanied by Exeter Rugby Club Chairman and Chief Executive, Tony Rowe OBE.

Tony said: “Salcombe Gin, is very popular amongst those who visit Sandy...

A fundraising evening organised by Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes has raised £6,500 for The Exeter Foundation charity, with money raised going towards helping a range of charities and groups across the region.

Staff from the five star housebuilder together with suppliers and sub-contractors enjoyed a black tie evening at Sandy Park, the home of the Exeter Chiefs which included a presentation by Exeter Foundation chairman Tony Rowe and included a raffle, auction and fundraising casino.

Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes managing director Paul Moran said the...

This was the dramatic moment Exeter Chiefs supremo Tony Rowe was sent off his own pitch!

He was just seconds into a substitution when the whistle was blown for a misdemeanour in the scrum.

Mr Rowe protested his innocence but referee Tony ‘Spreaders’ Spreadbury brandished a yellow card.

It was the shortest debut in Exeter Chiefs history.

The club chairman was playing in a fun testimonial game for fly-half Gareth Steenson which was watched by an estimated 8,000 fans at Sandy Park.

A former Exeter Chiefs squad took on a Classic Lions team, which...

Exeter Chiefs legend Gareth Steenson has announced his most high profile signing ahead of his testimonial game at Sandy Park later this month… club chief executive Tony Rowe!

Fans are going to witness the Sandy Park supremo running out in a Chiefs strip for the first (and only) time.

Mr Rowe has led the Chiefs from the lower leagues of rugby to Premiership champions.

But apart from the odd appearance on the pitch after a game, his role has been mostly behind the scenes.

Gareth is celebrating 10 years as an Exeter Chief and as part of his celebratory year is...

Rob Baxter insists there is a “burning desire” amongst the Exeter Chiefs coaching staff to take the Devon club onto even greater things in the future, after he and his three trusty lieutenants - Ali Hepher, Rob Hunter and Ricky Pellow - today all agreed new three-year deals with the Aviva Premiership champions.

Baxter will take on the new title of Director of Rugby for the 2017/18 season, while Hepher has been named the club’s new Head Coach. Both Hunter (Forwards Coach) and Pellow (Skills Coach) will continue in their current roles, both of which have seen them help take the...

Exeter Rugby Club chairman and chief executive Tony Rowe OBE believes the Chiefs can now go on to conquer Europe after they lifted English rugby’s top prize with victory in Saturday’s Aviva Premiership Final against Wasps.

Rowe watched on as Rob Baxter’s side produced a lung-busting display to claim the crown 23-20 following extra time at HQ.

Fly-half Gareth Steenson, whose deadly right boot kicked the Devon club into the top flight back in 2010, was again the hero, slotting a last-gasp penalty to ensure the title headed back to the Westcountry.

An emotional Rowe...

Tony Rowe praised his ‘hard working’ Sandy Park team after the Exeter venue was named Business of the Year at the Express & Echo 2017 Business Awards. Exeter Rugby Club’s chairman and chief executive was on hand to pick up the night’s main award at a glittering ceremony held at Exeter’s premier Conferencing & Banqueting Centre, Sandy Park. In what has been another fantastic year both on and off the field, Sandy Park’s success was confirmed by the awards judging panel who were clearly impressed by the attention to detail put in by the company across the board. The black-tie event,...
