A Message From Our Head Coach​
As Director of Rugby, I oversee the running and direction of rugby across the whole club while also taking on the role of Head Coach for the men's first team. It allows me to connect what we're building on the training pitch each week with the club's wider vision, from developing player pathways to achieving our long-term ambitions.
​
Our senior rugby programme is buzzing with excitement and ambition. With a youthful and dynamic first team, we're focused not only on the present but on building a strong, competitive squad for the future. We're also actively growing towards a second team, creating even more opportunities for players to gain game time, develop their skills and be part of the club's journey. Whether you're a seasoned player, returning to rugby after a break, or looking for a new challenge, there's a place for you at Exeter Athletic.
​
None of this would be possible without the incredible support of our volunteers, committee members and coaching team. I'd like to thank Josh Reed, Aaron Brewer, Steve Partridge, Christian Wilmington and our Senior Physio, Jaz Dawe, whose expertise and dedication play a huge part in everything we do. New players are always welcome. Pre-season training takes place on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6.30–8.00pm at the club, with winter training at Flower Pots AGP (times TBC). Come along, meet the squad and be part of an exciting future at Exeter Athletic.
