Tight-head prop Ehren Painter joined the Chiefs in March 2023 from Gallagher Premiership rivals Northampton Saints.

A product of Northampton’s Academy, Painter – who tips the scales at 133kg and stands 6ft 3in – made his senior debut for the club against Saracens in 2018 and has been a regular within their first-team ranks ever since.

Born in London, he represented England at age-grade level, including for the Under-20s in both the Six Nations and World Rugby Championships in 2018.
