Exeter Chiefs sign Stuart Hogg

Exeter Chiefs have today confirmed the signing of Scotland and British Lions full-back Stuart Hogg on a two-year deal. He will join from Glasgow Warriors at the start of next season.

The 26-year-old is Rob Baxter’s first confirmed signing ahead of the 2019/20 season.

“We’re delighted that Stuart has decided to join us,” said Rob Baxter. “We’ve tracked him for some time and we actually wanted to sign before he signed his last contract at Glasgow. At that stage it wasn’t the right time for him to move, but now it is and we feel he will be a fantastic addition to our squad.

“Not only is he an exceptional rugby player, but we feel he brings a whole host of other attributes that we think can help really add to us as a team.”

Hogg will be the fifth British Lion to play for the Chiefs, following in the stud marks of Andy Reed, Geoff Parling, Jack Nowell and Alex Cuthbert.
