DaLeaka Menin Extends Stay with Exeter Chiefs for 2025-26 Premiership Women's Rugby Season

Canadian prop DaLeaka Menin renews her contract with Exeter Chiefs, aiming for an exciting 2025-26 season in Premiership Women's Rugby.

Canada prop DaLeaka Menin has officially signed a new contract to remain with Exeter Chiefs for the 2025-26 Premiership Women's Rugby season. The 30-year-old, who joined the Chiefs in 2021, has been a pivotal figure in the team, making 61 appearances and scoring 10 tries.

Menin is currently with the Canada national squad, preparing for an upcoming tour of South Africa ahead of this year's Rugby World Cup in England. Her consistent performance and leadership have been instrumental in the Chiefs' success over the past three years.

Interim head coach Steve Salvin praised Menin's contributions:

"DaLeaka has been the cornerstone of our pack for the last three years. Her front-row partnership with Emily Tuttosi and Hope Rogers has been the platform for so many of our best performances. However, DaLeaka in the loose is also a terrifying prospect, as we saw in PAC4. I am so pleased she has chosen to stay with us for what we hope will be an exciting season for the Chiefs."

Menin's decision to extend her stay with Exeter underscores her commitment to the team and her ambition to continue making an impact in the Premiership Women's Rugby. Fans are eagerly anticipating her return to the field as the Chiefs gear up for another competitive season.
