Exeter Chiefs
2009/10 Squad
Here is the list of players who make up the Exeter Chiefs 2009/10 squad. Looking back to the first season at Sandy Park we still have 16 players who were in the 2007/08 squad of about 40, with only 6 players leaving at season's end. 2008/09 saw the mass expansion of the squad to around the 50 mark. This season sees a mass exodus with 19 players leaving and 10 players joining. I've taken the names from those still shown on the 'Offy Site' plus the new signings announced. Positions are those played as 1st choice but some players can cover several positions.
