He will join Australian teammate Tom Hooper and former Wallaby Scott Sio in the Exeter Chiefs' ranks next season.

"He's without doubt a world-class player, right on top of his form currently in Super Rugby," said Exeter's rugby director Rob Baxter.

"He'll have the Rugby Championship and the British and Irish Lions tour coming up before he arrives with us, but having spoken to him, he's very keen to experience something different."

Ikitau made his Test debut in 2021 has gone on to represent the Wallabies on 39 occasions.
