Four clubs are competing for the signature of England hooker Luke Cowan-Dickie.

The 6’1, 113kg hooker came through the Penzance-Newlyn (Pirates) Minis section and is considered – alongside Jack Nowell – as one of the biggest successes in the history of the Chiefs academy system.

With a RugbyPass Index score of 88, he is ranked as the 10th best hooker the planet, and the second best in the Gallagher Premiership.

The Cornishman’s preference is to stay at his home club Exeter Chiefs, but a significant offer from a Premiership rival could yet turn his head.

And he has plenty of offers to choose from too.

RugbyPass understand that four clubs have made offers for the Truro born front-rower – Leicester Tigers, Worcester Warriors, Harlequins and of course his current team, Exeter Chiefs.

If he decides not to stay at the Chiefs, Harlequins are thought to be favorites to win the race to sign the 25-year-old. The West London side’s incumbent at hooker is veteran Dave Ward, who will be 34 when the 2019/2020 season starts.

A RugbyPass source has suggested the salary that would get the young frontrower over the line is in the region of £350,000 per annum.

Time is on Cowan-Dickie’s side, as he’s not expected to make an official announcement until the new year.

Meanwhile, Chiefs are remaining coy about his future at the club.

“Talks are ongoing,” Rob Baxter told DevonLive this week. “No decision has been made – I can’t tell you he has signed or that he has not signed – but it is an ongoing situation.

“Where the clubs being named have come from, I don’t know. It is not something that I am aware of.”

Cowan-Dickie has fallen down the England Number 2 pecking order due to injury problems, making just 9 appearances for the Red Rose since picking up his first cap in 2015. His lack of current involvement with England would if anything could be seen as a bonus going into 2019.

In 2013, he was one of five fellow Chiefs players to help England Under-20s lift the Junior World Championships in France.

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
