Following their historic Champions Cup and Premiership double, Exeter Chiefs are set for a significant overhaul of their playing squad that will end in at least five senior players leaving…
The Chiefs have already had Nic White (Brumbies), Sam Hill (Sale Sharks) and Enrique Pieretto (Glasgow Warriors) depart in the summer.

1. Gareth Steenson

The 35-year-old is set to be out of contract in the summer after last signing a two year extension in 2018. Steenson has been at the forefront of Exeter’s rise out of the Championship and their subsequent rise to Premiership champions. Having settled in the city, opening his own pub, he will remain with the club as a kicking coach.

2. Phil Dollman

Rob Baxter’s first signing when he took charge of the Exeter Chiefs back in 2009, the Welshman has played an integral role in the rise of the Devon club since his arrival. The 34-year-old has shelved his retirement plans to take up a player-coach role with Sidmouth RFC for the 2020/21 season.

3. James Short

Keen to get his career back on track after a disappointing spell at London Irish, the speedy winger arrived in 2015 and enjoyed a stellar first few seasons in Devon. However, playing just 252 minutes this season, it’s looks unlikely that the 30-year-old will be offered a contract extension by Rob Baxter. There's yet to be confirmation either way.

4. Stan South
