Hope Rogers: United States prop extends Exeter contract

United States prop Hope Rogers has signed a new contract with Exeter for the forthcoming Premiership Women’s Rugby season.

Rogers, 32, became the USA’s most-capped player earlier this summer and was Exeter’s top try-scorer last season.

Her 10 tries helped her be named in the league’s Dream Team, while she was also named in World Rugby’s Women’s 15s Dream Team of the Year in 2024.

“There is no doubt Hope is an outstanding international player and is a threat every time she takes to the field,” Exeter interim head coach Steve Salvin said.

“Her exceptional low centre of gravity makes her almost impossible to stop at close quarters, which what makes her such a danger in the red zone.”

Rogers made her Exeter debut in January 2022 and has gone on to play 48 times, scoring 47 tries along the way.

“I’m really excited for my fifth season here at Chiefs and I’m looking forward to building with the squad,” Rogers said.

“Hopefully we can carry the momentum from the World Cup into our season and continue to grow and showcase women’s rugby.”
