The 33-year-old blindside flanker, who was a member of the Exeter Chiefs side that won the Champions Cup/Premiership double in 2020, can also operate at No8.
The 33-year-old, a one-time England hopeful when Eddie Jones was in charge, joined the Irish province last summer following the massive clear-out that took place at the Chiefs.
The Bath, Bristol and Gloucester second-row has given an immense amount to the game and now he wants to give back
Jannes Kirsten has become the latest Exeter Chiefs double-winner to quit Sandy Park. The Gallagher Premiership club has been swamped by a list of confirmed departures headed by the Montpellier-bound duo Sam Simmonds and Luke Cowan-Dickie and the Ulster-bound Dave Ewers.
Dave Ewers has become the latest big name to quit Exeter for the 2023/24 season, the back-rower following Sam Simmonds and Luke Cowan-Dickie out through an exit door that could also include Jack Nowell.
Dave Ewers was back in the Exeter jersey last Sunday for the first time since a summer ban, something Rob Baxter still has plenty to say on.
It was curious how Karl Dickson was called a credible witness at one Exeter hearing but blamed at a second hearing for yellow card decision.
It was thought the ban for Dave Ewers would extend into next season but Exeter have revealed the uncapped back row was set for England call.
Rob Baxter wasn't happy about the decision-making process that landed Exeter forwards Dave Ewers and Sam Skinner in trouble.
Two Exeter forwards that started last Saturday's win over Sale - Sam Skinner and Dave Ewers - will miss the rest of the Premiership season.
