Ben Coen

The club announced Ben Coen had put pen to paper on the young fly half’s first contract ahead of the 2024/25 season.

Coen was one of four Chiefs Academy players who recently won the World Rugby U20 Championship with England U20 alongside Chiefs senior coach Haydn Thomas.

The young fly-half, who has been a member of the Chiefs Academy since he was 15 years old, was delighted to have signed his first contract with the club he grew up following.

The half-back captured attention following an influential impact on last season’s BUCS Super Rugby final where EURFC emerged victorious by a single point against Leeds Beckett with the half back slotting two conversions and three penalties.

Described by Rob Baxter as an influential figure in the university team, he added: “I can’t talk highly enough of his character and his desire to battle his way through to earning a contract. I’m delighted for him, but he’s very much been the type of person that went out and earned it."
