Phil Dollman is a Welsh rugby union player known for his versatility in the backline. Born in Caerphilly, Wales, Dollman made a name for himself playing for his hometown club Caerphilly and Bedwas before signing with the Newport-Gwent Dragons.
In 2009, he joined the Exeter Chiefs as Rob Baxter's first signing when the club was in the Championship.
Dollman has been a key figure in the rise of the Exeter Chiefs, playing over 200 first-team games for the club. He has primarily operated at fullback or in the centre, but has also filled in at fly-half and on the wing when needed.
His honours with the Chiefs include winning the Premiership title in 2017 and the LV= Cup in 2014.
In May 2017, Dollman was named in the Wales senior squad for tests against Tonga and Samoa, but unfortunately, he suffered a knee injury in the Premiership Final and had to withdraw from the squad.
Despite this setback, Dollman continued to play a vital role in the success of the Chiefs.
Dollman had initially planned to retire at the conclusion of the 2019/2020 season. However, after discussions with Rob Baxter, he decided to extend his career with the Exeter Chiefs.
His contract expired at the end of June 2020, but he chose to continue playing for the Devon outfit.
Throughout his career, Dollman has showcased his versatility, skills, and commitment to the sport. He will be remembered as an integral part of the Exeter Chiefs' journey to becoming a force in both English and European rugby.
