Chudley arrived at Bath having made 119 appearances for Exeter over a six-year period.

The former Loughborough Student started his senior playing career with Bedford Blues in 2007, staying at Goldington Road until 2011 where he joined Newcastle Falcons.

Limited on playing opportunities, the scrum-half moved to Devon a year later, and became something of a cult hero down at Sandy Park. 

Chudley enjoyed an impressive first season at Bath, settling into the side quickly and acting captain on several occasions.
