Jack Yeandle will celebrate his successful career at Sandy Park
Veteran Exeter Chiefs star Jack Yeandle has been granted a testimonial year that will run over the 2024 - 25 season.
And he will be using the opportunity to raise funds for two causes very close to his heart, the British Heart Foundation and Pancreatic Cancer UK, as well as celebrating his time at the club.
Hooker Jack took on the club captaincy in 2015. His on-field leadership, coupled with his powerful play both in the loose and set-piece, has seen him become an integral part of the Chiefs make up in recent years with over 240 first team appearances to his name.
Having been educated in Devon, then at UWIC University, Jack's senior career took off in 2011 when he was signed by RFU Championship club, Doncaster Knights. He spent a year in Yorkshire before the call came from Rob Baxter, asking him to join Chiefs in the Premiership.
He made his Chiefs debut in November 2012 in an LV Cup tie away to London Welsh. Since then, he has gone on to become a regular fixture around the Exeter first team.
In 2017, alongside Gareth Steenson, Jack got to lift the Aviva Premiership trophy following his side's extra-time victory over Wasps at Twickenham.
