Centre McGillivray signs new Exeter contract

Nancy McGillivray made her Exeter debut in November 2021

Exeter centre Nancy McGillivray has agreed a deal to stay at the Premiership Women's Rugby side for the 2025-26 season.

The 22-year-old, who returned from serious knee injury last season, was a regular in the side that finished fifth in the league.

McGillivray, who has scored eight tries in 47 games for Exeter, will balance playing with training to become a physiotherapist.

"Nancy's battle to get back on the pitch after a year out was admirable and speaks volumes for the player and person she is," said interim head coach Steve Salvin.

"We are happy to support Nancy's further education while watching her game develop even further on the pitch."
