Paul Brown-Bampoe (born 15 May 2002) is an English rugby union player who plays as a wing for Exeter Chiefs.

Career

[edit]

He attended Durham University, during which he was called up by the England rugby sevens team in 2022.[3][4] He joined Exeter Chiefs during the 2023-24 season after impressing in BUCS rugby. He spent time on loan that season with National League 1 side Plymouth Albion.[5][1][6]

In August 2024, he scored a hat-trick of tries for Exeter in a pre-season friendly match against local rivals Cornish Pirates.[7][8] He also scored in pre-season matches against Ospreys and Ulster Rugby, leading to Exeter head coach Rob Baxter to suggest he was ready for a senior league debut for the club.[9][10] He made his Rugby Premiership debut for Exeter on 21 September 2024 against Leicester Tigers.[11]

Style of play

[edit]

He is described as a powerful and pacy winger.[12]
