Salvi, Horstmann and Atkins sign new contracts with Exeter Chiefs

Exeter Chiefs have announced that Julian Salvi, Kai Horstmann and Ollie Atkins have penned new contracts with the Aviva Premiership club.

Flanker Salvi joined Exeter Chiefs in 2015 after being part of Bath and Leicester Tigers previously while Zimbabwe born flanker Horstmann enjoyed stints with Harlequins and Worcester Warriors before joining the Sandy Park outfit in 2012. Both the players have agreed for a one-year deal.

Meanwhile, Hobart born lock Atkins has switched from Super Rugby sides Force and Waratahs to Edinburgh in 2013 before joining Rob Baxter's team in 2015 and has signed a two-year contract.

"It's fantastic to have all three guys with us again next season," Exeter head coach Baxter said.

"All of them have played different parts for us over the last few years and have been part and parcel of helping move the club forward."
