BYD South West are excited to announce Exeter Chiefs player Immanuel Feyi-Waboso as an Official BYD South West Ambassador. Born and raised in Cardiff, Wales, Feyi-Waboso represents England at international level after qualifying on ancestry grounds.
Feyi-Waboso began playing with Rumney FC, before signing for the Cardiff Blues academy ahead of the 2020-21 season. In 2022, Wasps announced the signing of Feyi-Waboso. Following the Wasps’ expulsion from the league due to their administration, Feyi-Waboso was signed by Exeter Chiefs.
Feyi-Waboso received his first call-up to the senior England squad in January 2024 for the Six Nations Championship. Since 2022, he has been studying a medical degree at the University of Exeter alongside his rugby career.
BYD South West is a franchise of the City West Country Group, a family-run automotive business that can list Mercedes-Benz South West, smart South West, GWM ORA South West, and Tangelo in their successful portfolio.
Located at Stratford House on Marsh Barton, the BYD Exeter showroom and service centres are positioned in the hub of Europe’s biggest collection of retail showrooms, promising a cleaner, more efficient motoring option for local consumers.

It is an honour to work alongside such a prominent local (and national!) personality, particularly with our large base of Exeter Chiefs fans. We are excited to see our partnership grow, and we look forward to welcoming Immanuel to our showroom.”
