Exeter Chiefs fans confused whether Henry Slade has signed a new contract or left the club

Exeter Chiefs supporters find themselves puzzled by a social media video featuring Henry Slade, with uncertainty swirling about the content’s meaning.

Slade, recently honoured as the fans’ player of the season, boasts an impressive track record with the Chiefs, clinching two Premierships and a Champions Cup, while also solidifying his role as a key player for England.

Amid widespread speculation of a contract extension, the enigmatic tone of the video, resembling more of a farewell message, has left Exeter fans feeling anxious.

One fan wrote: “s that his goodbye or him signing a contact????”

A second said: “So he’s leaving? This video is weirdly ambiguous.”

Thank you Henry. pic.twitter.com/F0qUXwwRkx

Another commented: “WHAT THE F IS HAPPENING IS HE STAYING OR GOING!!??”

“Is he leaving? Retiring? Going to France?”

Turns out he’s staying…
