Slade made his debut for Exeter in 2012 and quickly developed into a central figure in their backline. Comfortable at both center and fly half, his distribution and tactical kicking have been instrumental in Exeter’s rise over the last decade. He was part of the Chiefs’ domestic and European double-winning side in 2020, a high point in the club’s modern history.

Internationally, Slade has been a regular England selection since 2015, appearing in multiple Six Nations campaigns and World Cups. Known for his defensive intelligence and composure under pressure, he has often been paired with a more physical center partner to give England balance. His left-footed kicking option adds a layer of unpredictability to England’s attack.

As Exeter aim to re-establish themselves among the Premiership’s elite, Slade’s leadership and experience are critical. He enters the 2025–26 season with more than 200 appearances for the Chiefs and over 60 caps for England, proving his durability and commitment. For younger players at Sandy Park, Slade’s role extends beyond the pitch—he embodies the culture of consistency that Exeter relies on.

Exeter’s Backline Leader

Slade has been Exeter’s midfield anchor for more than a decade. His passing range and defensive organization allow younger backs around him to flourish. Whether distributing from 12, guiding from 10 or acting as a second playmaker, Slade’s fingerprints are all over Exeter’s attack. His leadership was especially crucial during the 2020 Premiership and Champions Cup triumphs, which marked Exeter’s most successful season to date.

International Stalwart For England Rugby

Since making his England debut in 2015, Slade has featured in World Cup squads and multiple Six Nations tournaments. He was a regular starter in England’s run to the 2019 Rugby World Cup final and continues to be a trusted figure in the squad. England coaches have praised his ability to read the game and provide a calm presence in midfield.
