Exeter have signed former Leinster forward Martin Moloney after a successful trial.

The 24-year-old back-row, who has made 11 appearances for the Irish side since his debut in April 2021, has spent much of the summer training with the Chiefs.

"He's a young guy who's had some injury issues at Leinster, took an opportunity to come to us on a long-term trial," Exeter director of rugby Rob Baxter told the club website. , external

"We initially extended that period having watched him train for a month to include the recent double-header games. I thought he did really well in our London Scottish and Cornish Pirates games.

"He's trained really well for us and will give us a different option in the back row but also strengthen us in a position where with players leaving and injuries we've not got the strength in depth that weve had previously."

Exeter have not disclosed the length of Moloney's deal at Sandy Park.
