Exeter bring in Pat Phibbs

Pat Phibbs has today agreed a short-term deal to stay with the .
With Dave Lewis currently sidelined with an elbow injury and fellow -half Haydn Thomas having taken a bang to the head in last Friday’s win at , Chiefs head coach is keen to ensure he has sufficient cover in the half-back role.
The Australian initially joined a few weeks ago on trial impressing in both training and for the Braves in the Aviva A League.
“We’re going to sign him (Phibbs) on a short-term deal, he’ll be here for a couple of months and then we’ll reassess the situation,” said Baxter. “He’s a good player, he’s someone we like and we’ve seen him before so we’re quite comfortable to get him down here.
“He’s very aware he hasn’t played that much recently so we have to get him up to speed and give him opportunities in training and the A League and see how he goes.
“If he goes well enough he’ll get game time, or if things like this happen and injuries occur he’ll be in contention. It’s good that we got him down when we did and it’s given us a bit of cover for a second injury, which we were hoping wouldn’t happen.
“Pat’s training really well, we’ve not had any fitness issues with him so it looks like a good move to have him down here.”
