> "Rob has had some rave reviews last season in South West One and we are very happy to give him an opportunity to step up to play National League Rugby. Having met Rob a couple of times now, I have been very keen with his desire and motivation to play at the highest level he can, and having moved to Exeter for work purposes, we hope that we are the perfect fit for him.

"Although sad to be moving on from Bridgwater and Albion, I look forward to the upcoming season with Exmouth RFC, and the opportunity they have given me to progress my game in National League rugby. They are a club I have heard great things about, and I hope to achieve much success with them in the coming seasons."
