He made his debut for Exeter against Sale Sharks on 1 September 2012.[2]

Will joined Exeter from rivals Newcastle Falcons,[3] Chudley joined Newcastle from Bedford Blues after catching the eye of Newcastle coach Alan Tait during Bedfords play-off semi-final defeat by Worcester in 2011.[4]

He was in the team when Exeter Chiefs defeated Wasps to be crowned champions of the 2016-17 English Premiership.[5]

In December 2017, he was awarded Try of the week for his week 11 try against Northampton Saints.[6]

On 20 March 2018, it was announced that Chudley would leave Exeter to join local rivals Bath ahead of the 2018–19 season.[7]
