Exeter Chiefs director of rugby Rob Baxter says fresh investment in the club could allow some new players to join in the summer.<\/p>\n
Exeter members will vote on a proposed takeover by American investors on Thursday – understood to be Black Knight Football Club that owns Premier League side AFC Bournemouth.<\/a><\/p>\n The Chiefs have extended the terms of a number of their players who were out of contract this summer, as well as agreeing deals to sign the likes of Crusaders’ back Dallas McLeod,<\/a> Saracens forward Harry Wilson<\/a> and Bath centre Will Butt.<\/a><\/p>\n “We’ve got a little bit of room, but not loads and loads,” Baxter said when asked how much of the Prem Rugby salary cap the club had available to spend.<\/p>\n “If you say, can we go out and get one player? Yeah, of course you can, but on the whole, we’ve got a pretty settled senior squad there with a good group of good players.<\/p>\n “Is there room for a specialist in a certain position? Potentially, yes, and that’s probably what we would look at.<\/p>\n “But right here and now, we’re not going to do that until we know exactly where we are financially longer term.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Exeter Chiefs director of rugby Rob Baxter says fresh investment in the club could allow some new players…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":653309,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[567],"tags":[64,63,760,85],"class_list":["post-653308","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-rugby","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/653308","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=653308"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/653308\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/653309"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=653308"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=653308"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=653308"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
