Ulster have received a much-needed boost ahead of their must-win Champions Cup clash with Sale with the confirmation that Dave Ewers is joining the province in the summer.

Versatile back row Ewers, 32, will move to Ulster from Exeter Chiefs ahead of next season.

The Zimbabwean won the Premiership and Champions Cup double with the club in 2020.

Ulster boss Dan McFarland reacted: “Dave has demonstrated over a terrific career at Exeter that he loves to carry ball, and is one of the top gain line winning forwards in the Premiership.

"His size, work rate, and skillset will dovetail nicely with our other back rows.

“We look forward to welcoming him to Ulster to add depth and further experience to our back row, as we remain firmly focussed on our ambitions as a squad.”

Ewers added: “Ulster is a proud club with a reputation on the pitch which reaches far and wide, and I look forward to calling myself one of the Ulster men from next season onwards.

“I have made many memories with Exeter Chiefs over the years, and now I’m excited to see what this next chapter in my career holds as part of a club with big goals.”
