EXETER Chiefs Director of Rugby, Rob Baxter, says he is delighted that prop Harry Williams has pledged his long-term future to the club.

Brought to Sandy Park in 2015 by Baxter from Championship side, Jersey Reds, the 28-year-old has since gone on to not only establish himself as a key cog in the Exeter pack, but also progress to Test Match status with England.

News that he is prolonging his stay with the current Gallagher Premiership league leaders will be music to the ears of Baxter, who often says that his best recruitment lies around those key players he is able to retain.
