Exeter Chiefs scrum-half Sam Maunder will be released by the club following the conclusion of the 2024-25 Premiership season

The 25-year-old has spent the majority of the current campaign on loan with Championship side Coventry and will now join the club on a permanent basis.

Maunder played 62 matches for Exeter, starting in 34 of them and scoring two Premiership tries during that time.

The Chiefs academy graduate moves to Butts Park Arena where he has played 12 games this season.

"I would like to thank Tony Rowe [CEO and chairman] and Rob Baxter [director of rugby] for giving me the opportunity to play for my boyhood club," Maunder said. "It has meant the world to me.

"It's a special group of players and staff at Chiefs and I have made lifelong friends. I'm going to miss being part of that dressing room.

"I wish everyone the very best and I'm going to be cheering them on from the Midlands. Thank you for making this place feel like home for six years."
