Exeter's Ireland hooker Cliodhna Moloney has extended her contract for the 2025-26 Premiership Women's Rugby season.

The 31-year-old moved to Sandy Park in 2022 after Wasps' women's side disbanded and has gone on to score 24 tries for the Devon side.

She was recalled to the Ireland squad this year and played in all five of their Six Nations games this season.

The announcement comes a day after her wife - England winger Claudia MacDonald - also signed a new deal with the Chiefs.

"Cli has been a crucial part of our squad over the last three years," interim head coach Steve Salvin said.

"She brings so much experience and rugby nous to every game she plays in.

"We look forward to her returning to Sandy Park post-World Cup and continuing her career with us."
