REPORTS: Joe Marchant ‘in advanced talks’ to leave Harlequins

#2. Jack Nowell

The Exeter winger is out of contract next summer and is attracting interest from Racing 92 and Clermont Auvergne while other clubs are still to finalise their future recruitment plans.

The 29-year-old admitted he would one day like to move abroad after his Exeter team-mate Sam Simmonds will join Montpellier next year.

“The only thing I can do is focus on this year and whatever comes, comes,” Nowell said.

“We’ve got four big games this autumn and a massive Six Nations where we want to make up for last year.

“I’ve made it obvious before that one day [a move to France is] something I would like to do obviously if my body allows me.

“Whether it’s next year or the year after I’m not too sure yet but I’m in a position where I’ve always been in contract with the club and this is the first year where I’ve found myself not in contract next year. For me there is a lot to play for and a lot still to go.”
