Exeter Chiefs have signed scrum-half Sam Wolstenholme from Bristol Bears.
The 26-year-old, who made 19 appearances in three years for Bristol after arriving from Leicester Tigers, will join the Chiefs for the 2026-27 campaign.
Chiefs director of rugby Rob Baxter told the club website, external he will be a good fit for Exeter.
"Sam is a player we're really pleased to be bringing on board at Chiefs," he said. "I've actually looked at him several times over the years, and I've always thought he's a very good player.
"He's a guy who knows the importance of his basic fundamentals but also is very aligned on how a team wants to play, driving a team to make sure they're playing in the right areas of the field and following game plans.
"He's another important addition to the quality of the group that we're going to try to build."
