Thompson signs from the Chiefs Academy
Aaron Thompson has signed 'on loan' from the Exeter Chiefs in what will be his first season of senior rugby.
Aged 18, Thompson is on the Apprenticeship programme with the Chiefs in Association with Exeter College and can play anywhere in the back row and has also played hooker.
Thompson, who is being sponsored by Sam's Funhouse, is seen as a bright talent and lives locally in Budleigh. He has impressed in pre season outings against Topsham, Bargoed and an Exeter Chiefs xv last week.
Head Coach Jon Hill comments:
"We are thankful for the support of the Exeter Chiefs for allowing us to bring in Aaron ahead of our National Two season. Academy Manager Robin Cowling has been very supportive of the move and we are delighted that he has chosen Exmouth as the next step in his rugby development."
Aaron is seen here in the brand new Cockles change strip, with Dave McCarthy, of Sam's Funhouse.
Regards
Jon
