Early life

Exeter was educated at Eltham College in London, the same school that produced Eric Liddell. [2]

Rugby Union career

Amateur career

Based in England, Exeter was a strongly–built centre and played for the Birmingham club Moseley.

Provincial career

Exeter played for the Anglo–Scots team against France in 1987 and contributed a try in a winning cause. [3]

International career

He was a Scotland under 21s representative player and retrospectively received a full international cap for an appearance with a Scotland XV against France at Netherdale in November 1987. He didn't get any further senior international opportunities, but did train with the national squad in the 1990–91 season. [2]

As the senior cap was retrospectively awarded later, at the time he was still eligible for the Scotland 'B' side which was purely for those without a full cap. So he played for Scotland 'B' against Italy 'B' on 5 December 1987 in an unanswered seven try romp for the Scots. [4]

Coaching career

A broken neck ended his playing career at the age of 24. He became a Strength and Conditioning Coach and worked with Richmond RFC. [5]

He was a Strength and Conditioning Coach for Northampton Saints. He pioneered the use of the Myotruk resistance unit there. [6]

He moved to be a Strength and Conditioning Coach for CA Brive. [7]

Business career

Exeter works in Leamington Spa as a fitness coach. [2] He is a director of Megabox Fitness. [8]
