Eight North American internationals will return to Exeter Chiefs following the upcoming World Cup. The Premier 15s finalists today confirmed their list of re-signings and departures. Canadian lock McKinley Hunt is the only North American player who is moving on.
Extending for a third season at Sandy Park are co-captain Kate Zackary and fellow Eagles Rachel Johnson, Gabby Cantorna, and Jennine Detiveaux, as well as Canada’s Emily Tuttosi. It will be a second season in Exeter for two other Canucks, DaLeaka Menin and Gabrielle Senft, and for the USA’s Hope Rogers.
Exeter finished second on the 2021-2022 league table and reached their first Premier 15s final in only their second-ever campaign. Saracens completed the double by winning both the regular season title and the Championship Final.
