Exeter Chiefs duo sign new 2-year deals

Exeter Chiefs duo Sam Hill and James Short are the latest players to commit their futures to the club with the duo both agreeing new two-year deals to stay at Sandy Park. 

 

 

The talented backs are the latest squad members to commit their futures to the reigning Premiership champions, following in the likes of Greg Holmes, Mitch Lees, Gareth Steenson, Elvis Taione, Ian Whitten, Harry Williams and Jack Yeandle, who themselves have all penned new contracts this month.

 

 

Brought through from the club’s highly successful academy Exeter-born Hill made his senior debut for his hometown club in 2012 in an LV= Cup clash away to Wasps. Since then, the powerful and hard running has amassed over 100 appearances for the club, as well as featuring for England at Saxons, Under-20s, 18s and 16s level.

 

 

Short has adapted to life in the Westcountry following his move from London Irish back in the summer of 2015. A previous Premiership winner with Saracens, Short enjoyed spells with both Wasps and London Irish before Baxter moved swiftly to bring him to the Chiefs. Since then, the 28-year-old winger has underlined his proven talents, scoring 29 tries for the club in just 61 appearances.
