Sam Simmonds: Exeter Chiefs forward agrees new contract

Sam Simmonds has scored two tries in three appearances in the Anglo-Welsh Cup this season for Exeter

Exeter Chiefs forward Sam Simmonds has signed a new two-year deal with the Premiership club.

The back-row forward, a product of the Chiefs' academy, has spent time on a dual registration deal at Championship side Cornish Pirates this year.

Simmonds, 22, will make his first Premiership appearance for Exeter against Wasps on Sunday.

"He has shown an awful lot of very, very good qualities," said head coach Rob Baxter.
