Short can't wait to get started at Exeter
James Short says he is relishing the challenge that awaits him after today signing for Exeter Chiefs from Premiership rivals London Irish.
The 25-year-old winger is the latest recruit to arrive at Sandy Park following a busy summer of recruitment for Chiefs head coach Rob Baxter.
Signed on a one-year deal, Short – who has previously had spells with Saracens and Wasps, the latter during a loan spell during the 2013-14 season – is seen as a key addition to Exeter back division following the departures of Fetu'u Vainikolo and Tom James at the end of last season.
With over 70 top flight appearances, the talented back has already won the Premiership title with Saracens back in 2011, scoring the only try in the Twickenham final as the Londoners triumphed 22-18.
And his arrival in Devon is a timely boost for the Chiefs, who have already been hard at work building up to the new 2015-16 season.
Commenting on his move, Short said: "I'm excited about the move, it's a new challenge for me, but one that I am very much looking forward to. Exeter are a great club, they have a great set-up and you only have to look at recent seasons to see they are a club who are on the rise."
