Exeter boss Rob Baxter says Olly Woodburn's recent performances could justify a new deal for the veteran back. The 34-year-old impressed in a first start at full-back in the dramatic win at Saracens on Saturday and he has also covered at centre in recent seasons. Woodburn has scored 60 tries in 185 games for the Chiefs since joining in 2015, but is out of contract at the end of this season. The Exeter boss has been impressed with Woodburn's versatility as he competes with youngsters Immanuel Feyi-Waboso, Paul Brown-Bampoe and Campbell Ridl out wide. "I actually mentioned it to him two or three weeks ago if he would be okay playing full-back if we decided to select that way," explained Baxter.
