As the Cornish Pirates continued to strengthen their squad for the 2018-19 season, it was announced in April 2018 that centre Callum was joining from Ulster on a one-year contract.

Ballymena-born, he was educated at Ballymena Academy and then attended Harpers Adams University in Shropshire, when he played for Newport Salop and Shropshire.

Also, a Ballymena player, and one with a great work ethic, after finishing University Callum worked in agriculture for two years, played for Ulster A and was then rewarded in 2016 with a place in Ulster senior squad.

Besides rugby, Callum has represented Ulster and Ireland at youth level in tennis, and as a keen golfer is a member of Royal Portrush Golf Club.

Before his arrival, Cornish Pirates’ co-coach Gavin Cattle was looking forward to working with Callum, commenting that he had impressed when playing for Ulster A against the Pirates in the British & Irish Cup.

In his first two seasons in Cornwall, Callum made 46 appearances and scored 15 tries – 12 of which were recorded in a particularly impressive ‘Coronavirus’ curtailed 2019/20 season. It was no surprise that he was voted the club’s ‘Player of the Year’, besides being selected in The Rugby Paper’s Championship ‘Dream XV’.
