Gareth Steenson (born 5 May 1984) is currently a Fly-half for Exeter Chiefs.
Steenson played a massive part in the final leg of the 2009-10 Championship final against Bristol Rugby scoring 24 points, helping Exeter Chiefs win 29-10 (38-16 including the first leg).[2][3] Steenson burst into the scene in England at his previous club, Cornish Pirates, scoring 264 points in his first season (30 games).
Despite being born in Northern Ireland Steenson is now also qualified to play for England through English residency, should he wish to.[4]
