He made his Premiership debut for Exeter Chiefs on 25 November 2012 in a 27–23 win over London Irish. After establishing himself as a regular in the Chiefs first team, Nowell was nominated for, and won, the LV=Breakthrough Player Award for the 2012–13 season.
Nowell is an established first teamer for the Chiefs and has scored 16 premiership tries in 46 appearances since 2012. Nowell has also played key roles for the Chiefs in their European Champions Cup and Heineken Cup competitions.

In 2017 Nowell produced a try-scoring performance in the Aviva Premiership Final, as Exeter Chiefs claimed their maiden premiership title.
International career
Nowell represented England at Under-18 and Under-20 level. He scored in the 2013 IRB Junior World Cup final win over Wales.
On 1 August 2013, he was selected in the England Saxons squad.
On 9 January 2014, Nowell was included in the England squad for the 2014 Six Nations Championship, after numerous injuries. He made his debut for England in the 26–24 defeat to France, despite a difficult start to the game Nowell made the most metres by any England player in the game (87 metres). He scored his first try for England during the 52–11 win over Italy. Nowell missed the 2014 summer tour of New Zealand due to injury.
Nowell returned to the England team in the third match of the 2015 Six Nations Championship, replacing Jonny May in the starting lineup, but failed to finish off a couple of try scoring opportunities. He then started the following game against Scotland, scoring his first Twickenham try. On the final day of the championship, Nowell was selected for a match that England needed to beat France by 27 points to clinch the title. Despite Nowell scoring two tries, England failed to achieve this target and Ireland claimed the championship.
Nowell was selected as a member of England squad for the 2015 World Cup, and made his World Cup debut during the 60–3 win over amateur side Uruguay, becoming one of only six English players to have scored a hat-trick of tries at a World Cup.
Nowell started all five of England's RBS Six Nations matches in 2016 where England won the Grand Slam. He scored a try in the opener against Scotland. Nowell also was part of the successful 3–0 series win over Australia in 2016 starting the second and third test and acting as a replacement in the first and scoring a try from the bench. Nowell played despite having a thumb injury for which he missed the opening few rounds of the 2016–17 domestic season.
