Tim Exeter (born March 1965) is a former Scotland international rugby union player.[1] He became a Strength and Conditioning Coach and is now a director of a fitness business.
Early life
Exeter was educated at Eltham College in London, the same school that produced Eric Liddell.[2]
Rugby Union career
Amateur career
Based in England, Exeter was a strongly–built centre and played for the Birmingham club Moseley.
Provincial career
Exeter played for the Anglo–Scots team against France in 1987 and contributed a try in a winning cause.[3]
International career
He was a Scotland under 21s representative player and retrospectively received a full international cap for an appearance with a Scotland XV against France at Netherdale in November 1987. He didn't get any further senior international opportunities, but did train with the national squad in the 1990–91 season.[2]
As the senior cap was retrospectively awarded later, at the time he was still eligible for the Scotland 'B' side which was purely for those without a full cap. So he played for Scotland 'B' against Italy 'B' on 5 December 1987 in an unanswered seven try romp for the Scots.[4]
Coaching career
A broken neck ended his playing career at the age of 24. He became a Strength and Conditioning Coach and worked with Richmond RFC.[5]
He was a Strength and Conditioning Coach for Northampton Saints. He pioneered the use of the Myotruk resistance unit there.[6]
He moved to be a Strength and Conditioning Coach for CA Brive.[7]
Business career
Exeter works in Leamington Spa as a fitness coach.[2] He is a director of Megabox Fitness.[8]
