Chiefs sign up Fijian half back Matawalu

Exeter Chiefs have added Fijian international Niko Matawalu to their backline until the end of the season.

“Initially Niko’s joining until the end of the season,” said Baxter.

“We want to have a good look at him and then we’ll see if there is an opportunity beyond that.

“As a club we’re really looking forward to bringing him here. We had a good look at him previously when he first decided to move on from Glasgow to Bath, but now the opportunity has arisen for us to sign him and it’s come at the right time for us."

Niko will head to Sandy Park from Premiership rivals Bath Rugby and will join up with his new team-mates once the current autumn internationals are concluded.
