Niall Armstrong (born 19 August 1999) is an Irish rugby union player who plays at scrum half for Exeter Chiefs.
Early life
[edit | edit source]From Ulster, he attended Royal Belfast Academical Institution with whom he won two Schools Cups.[4][5] He also attended University of Exeter where he captained the first-XV rugby union team.[6]
Career
[edit | edit source]He made his debut for Exeter Chiefs in September 2023.[6] During his first season for Exeter, he was mainly used as a replacement at the start of the season but scored two tries for the club in the opening weeks of the season.[7] In November 2023, he was given a red card in the Rugby Premiership for a high boot striking Northampton Saints fly half Fin Smith in the face which was deemed as reckless.[8] It was an action that his Exeter head coach Rob Baxter described as "not deliberate" and Smith described as just "one of those things".[9][10] In April 2024 after making eleven appearances for the Chiefs he agreed a contract extension.[6]
