“I’m really excited for the new few years in an Exeter Chiefs shirt,” the he said after signing. “I’ve relished my time at Sandy Park so far and I’m looking forward to whatever comes next.”

Winger Hammersley, 20, made his Chiefs debut at the beginning of the season and has gone on to make 17 appearances. He is the latest player to come from the University of Exeter.

“If someone had said to me that I would debut in the Premiership and the Champions Cup this year, then I would have bitten their hand off,” he said. “So, to be looking back now, I’m very thankful to everyone that has made it possible.

“I can’t wait to continue learning and growing with this group and hopefully contribute to more success at Sandy Park going forward.”

Exeter director of rugby Rob Baxter said: “We’re delighted to have re-signed Ben. He is part of a young and exciting group that have broken through this season. Similarly to Tommy Wyatt, having gotten into the team he was playing exceptionally well – very strong on the ball, very strong defensively.

“Probably, in a lot of ways, one of the highlights for us has been watching a young academy player break through in the way he has. He’s another guy who has been in that university pathway, and he has come through and accelerated with his development really well.

“I’m glad he’s staying as he is maturing and improving all the time. I think it’s a really important statement for us that we’re going to be pushing through with these young players.”
