Exeter stars Julian Salvi and Kai Horstmann extend contracts at Premiership side

Aviva Premiership title challengers Exeter have announced new contracts for back-row forwards Julian Salvi and Kai Horstmann.

Salvi and Horstmann have agreed one-year deals, while the Chiefs also confirmed a new two-year contract for lock Ollie Atkins.

"It's fantastic to have all three guys with us again next season," Exeter head coach Rob Baxter said.

"All of them have played different parts for us over the last few years and have been part and parcel of helping move the club forward."
