Shortly after the Cornish Pirates announced in 2013 that prop Paul Andrew was departing to Worcester, it was confirmed that younger brother Jack was promptly due at the Mennaye Field. Arriving from Plymouth Albion, he had also previously played for Exeter Chiefs and the Cornish All Blacks.

Jack started playing rugby, aged 11, at St. Austell RFC, before later moving to Truro at under 15s level. He then became a member of the South West Academy at Truro College and in 2009 was captain of the college side that lifted the Daily Mail RBS Schools Cup in the final played at Twickenham, when St. Peter’s School from Gloucester were beaten 39-18.

Coaches who had influenced Jack included Ricky Pellow, Robin Cowling, Will Davis and Plymouth Albion’s James Owen, whilst Jack and Paul’s dad also naturally gave them encouragement, having played for the Cornwall Fire Brigade and combination services.

When speaking ahead of his move to the Mennaye Field, Jack felt that it was the right place to be to improve still further, which of no surprise has proved the case. Indeed, he is our most experienced squad member who by the end of his 2022/23 ‘Testimonial Season’ took his overall games tally to 221, which is comfortably more than anyone else in the squad.
