COVENTRY Rugby have confirmed the signing of former England under-20 scrum-half Sam Maunder on loan from Exeter Chiefs.
The 24-year-old has made 59 appearances for the Chiefs since making his debut as a teenager in 2018 and has won caps for England at under-20 level.
Maunder links up with Rae’s squad ahead of their clash against Doncaster Knights at Butts Park Arena this weekend (Saturday, January 18, kick-off 3pm).
Rae said: “The arrival at the Butts of a quality operator like Sam with loads of Premiership experience is a real positive for us.
“We’re very grateful to Rob Baxter and Exeter for giving him the opportunity to come and spend some time with us.
“We’ve already seen in training that Sam will bring plenty to our group as we seek to put some good performances together in the league and to qualify for the cup quarter-finals.”
