The former Cardiff Met student, who started his career at the Ospreys and is Welsh-qualified, is currently in his fifth season with the Chiefs and is arguably in the form of his career.
He has scored eight tries this season and has made the second most metres made of any player in the Premiership, with 1452. He has scored a total of 35 tries in 91 appearances for the Devon-based team.
223 – Since his debut for @ExeterChiefs in April 2018 Tom O'Flaherty has beaten the most defenders beaten (223) in @premrugby whilst ranking second for metres gained (3840, @CPiutau 4094); only Sam Simmonds (52) has more tries than him (21) at Exeter in that time. Hooked. pic.twitter.com/qovbuZpNgd

Exeter fans will be extremely disappointed to see O’Flaherty leave while Sale fans are already expressing their delight at the exciting new signing. One fan took to Twitter to simply say, “Needless to say this is a cracking signing”.
