Hi.

Welcome to my blog. I will be writing about a variety of sports and many other things.

The Exeter Chiefs have announced that 30 players have signed contract extensions at the club. 

The list of players who have signed contract extensions include, Scottish international Stuart Hogg and England internationals Henry Slade, Jack Nowell, Luke Cowan-Dickie and Sam Simmonds as well as Welsh pair Alex Cuthbert and Thomas Francis. 

The Premiership leaders have not disclosed the length of these deals. But Rob Baxter, the Chiefs Director of Rugby, has said that each deal was ‘different’.

"They are not all four-year deals, nor are they all one-year deals, but we feel we have done the right thing in kind of backing this group of players.”

The full list of players to agree new deals is:

·    Don Armand

·    Corey Baldwin

·    Luke Cowan-Dickie

·    Alex Cuthbert

·    Dave Dennis

·    Ollie Devoto

·    Dave Ewers

·    Tomas Francis

·    Tom Hendrickson

·    Alec Hepburn

·    Jonny Hill

·    Stuart Hogg

·    Billy Keast

·    Jannes Kirsten

·    Sean Lonsdale

·    Jack Nowell

·    Tom Price

·    Joe Simmonds

·    Sam Simmonds

·    Harvey Skinner

·    Sam Skinner

·    Henry Slade

·    Marcus Street

·    Stuart Townsend

·    Jacques Vermeulen

·    Ian Whitten

·    Harry Williams

·    Will Witty

·    Olly Woodburn

·    Jack Yeandle

 

The Sandy Park club are not only focussing on extending their current squad, but they have made two new signings. 

Last week, Baxter said that there would be a new signing that will have ‘everyone licking their lips’. 

Exeter have signed Australian fly-half Jack Walsh and 21-year-old Argentinian wing Facundo Cordero. 

Cordero is the younger brother of former Exeter wing Santi Cordero. The Argentinian is a promising youngster that provides another electrifying element to Exeter’s back line.
