The highly-rated centre arrived in the city earlier this week and is already settling into life with the reigning Gallagher Premiership champions.
The 23-year-old’s arrival comes hot on the heels of Kiwi prop Josh Iosefa-Scott also joining the Chiefs ahead of next season - and both will use the remainder of this season to get up-to-speed and acquainted with their new team-mates.
“It’s a great new challenge for me,” said O’Brien, who has spent the past three years with the Pro14 League side. “I’ve had a great spell there, but now is the time for me to go and test myself in the Premiership.
“Exeter are a club who have been winning trophies, they play a great brand of rugby and the culture here looks great, who wouldn’t want to join them?”
