Dave Dennis signs three year contract with Exeter Chiefs
In a media statement released earlier this morning, the NSW Waratahs confirmed that Dennis has signed a multi-year contract with the English Premiership club.
He will join his new club at the end of this year's Super Rugby season. The player has made 93 Waratahs appearances
.
“It was a really hard decision because I’ve been here my whole career, I’ve spent ten years here. I could easily stay here until my career ended but I’ve always wanted to challenge myself in a different environment.
“I’m not getting any younger and, with the transition of Michael (Hooper) into the captaincy, I’m really comfortable with the way I’ll be leaving the club at the end of the year, and I think that’s really important.
“I wanted to announce this early in the year so it wasn’t a distraction for myself or anyone else. Now I can just put that aside and really focus on what we want to achieve this year as a team, which for me is the number one priority.
“I look forward to looking back next year and seeing a lot of the young guys we have in the squad this year, like Jed Holloway and Jack Dempsey, really progressing and pushing forward, being consistent players for the Waratahs. For me it will be really satisfying to say I played a small part of that,” Dennis said.
