Exeter Chiefs have strengthened their front row with the signing of Welsh international prop Craig Mitchell on a two-year deal from Ospreys.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old tight-head has won eight caps for his country since his international debut in 2009.<\/p>\n

He said: “I’ve had six good years with the Ospreys, but I felt the time was right to try something else.<\/p>\n

“Obviously I’ve come against English sides before with Ospreys so I know a little bit about the teams.”<\/p>\n

Craig’s a quality guy who works hard and that’s the kind of player we like.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\tRob Baxter<\/span>
\n\tExeter head coach<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Mitchell has made 35 appearances for the Ospreys since 2006, competing with fellow international Adam Jones for the tight-head spot.<\/p>\n

“I’ve always said Adam is the world’s best tight-head,” Mitchell continued. <\/p>\n

“So when he signed for another three years (at Ospreys) I knew it was time to move on.<\/p>\n

“I appreciate certain games are highly presurised, but I’m competitive and will not improve being on the bench.”<\/p>\n

Mitchell is Exeter head coach Rob Baxter’s second new signing ahead of next season, following Saracens scrum-half Kevin Barrett into Sandy Park.<\/a><\/p>\n

Baxter said: “We’ve had Craig lined up for a while, but with the Six Nations going on he asked us to keep things under wraps for a while so that’s what we did.<\/p>\n

“I think he’s a really good signing for us and anybody who saw the internationals will know he’s a quality guy who works hard and that’s the kind of player we like.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
