DaLeaka Menin is the latest North American to sign on with Exeter Chiefs. The Canadian international prop makes the switch from Premier 15s rivals Loughborough Lightning. In doing so Menin reunites with former Calgary Dinos teammate Emily Tuttosi, who herself spent two seasons with Loughborough.
Consistently ranked among the best props in the competition, Menin has also established herself as a first choice player for Canada heading towards next year’s World Cup. She was a staple in the Lightning lineup last season, even filling in on the flank when needed.
Exeter also have a third Canadian on the books in second row McKinley Hunt, while the USA contingent includes flankers Kate Zackary and Rachel Johnson, center Gabby Cantorna, and winger Jennine Duncan. Zackary has recently been confirmed as team captain for the new campaign.
