Max Norey

Max Norey, born on 5 August 1999, is a back-row forward at Exeter Chiefs, registered as a flanker within the club's squad. At 26, Norey occupies the bridging space between the academy graduates pushing into the senior environment and the more experienced campaigners in the Sandy Park forward unit. His game is built around the standard requirements of a modern Premiership flanker — high work-rate over 80 minutes, contest at the breakdown, and accurate tackling at line speed — alongside the kind of carrying contribution expected from a back-row in the current era of forward play. Exeter's pattern of rotating loose forwards across the Gallagher Premiership, Premiership Rugby Cup, and European fixtures provides a player of his profile with regular avenues to push for selection. As Norey continues to accumulate senior minutes, the next phase of his career centres on translating squad involvement into more consistent matchday selection, in a Chiefs back-row that competes among the deepest rotations in the English top flight.
