The Exeter Chiefs have announced the signing of Craig Mitchell on a two-year deal from the Ospreys.
The Wales prop, who is currently out of action with a dislocated shoulder suffered during the Six Nations win over Ireland earlier this month, was born and raised in Neath but is excited by the prospect by his imminent move to England.
"I'm really looking forward to it," he said. "It's going to be a fresh start for me and a move that is right for me and my career at this stage. I've had six good years with the Ospreys, but I felt the time was right to try something else and signing for Exeter is a great opportunity for me.
"Yeah, it's going to be my first crack at English rugby and the Premiership. I've spoken to a few boys about it and they've said it's tough, but that it is also a very good standard. Obviously I've come up against English sides before with the Ospreys and with Wales, so I know a little bit about the players and the teams."
