Dan Frost signs up with Exeter Chiefs

Exeter Chiefs have today bolstered their options in the front-row with the signing of Dan Frost from Wasps.

The 25-year-old hooker joins the Chiefs immediately and will be a travelling reserve ahead of tomorrow’s Premiership trip to Gloucester.

Taunton-born Frost – who has previously represented Exeter in the A League – is one of several players who have been signed up by clubs across Europe in the wake of Wasps going into administration earlier this month.

Chiefs Director of Rugby, Rob Baxter, said: “We’ve known Dan for some time, having watched him play initially at Taunton and then down at the Cornish Pirates, where he was linking up with a few of our guys who were on dual-reg down there.

“He did very well at both those clubs, especially the Pirates, and it was off that form that he picked up his move to Wasps. At the time, it didn’t quite work for us to bring him into the club, but we’ve watched him closely ever since.


“He’s done very well establishing himself in the Premiership and he’s done well when he’s come up against us. Obviously, everyone is aware of the situation at Wasps and with Luke Cowan-Dickie also away currently with England, we felt it was right to bring Dan in to add to that pool of hookers.

“He’s here on injury dispensation as Iestyn Harris is still recovering after having back surgery, but from what we’ve seen so far, I think he will settle in very well. He knows quite a few of our guys already and he’s done well picking up information this week.”
