Rob Baxter and his coaching staff sign three-year contract extensions with Exeter Chiefs.

Head coach Rob Baxter has committed his future to Aviva Premiership side Exeter Chiefs by signing a three-year deal with the club.

Baxter's coaching staff, including assistant Ali Hepher, team manager Robin Cowling, skills coach Ricky Pellow and academy boss Rob Gibson have also penned deals for the same amount of time.

"I'm so pleased that I've finished negotiating an extension on all their contracts because I really wanted to keep them all," chief executive Tony Rowe told the club's official website.

"It's a fantastic coaching team and as you try to progress, the most difficult thing is to get hold of a good coaching team. But I've got one and I'm the first to acknowledge the effort they have put in.

"They were untested in the Premiership and apart from Ali, who Rob recruited himself, I was instrumental in putting that group together. It's an awesome group and I consider it quite a coup to have kept them all."

The Chiefs defeated Newport in the Heineken Cup yesterday evening.
