It was announced in August 2024 that young Cornish lock Milo Hallam had signed a contract for the then coming season.
Born and raised in Cornwall, Milo began his rugby journey with Falmouth RFC. He later attended Truro School, Truro College, and Exeter University, where he played a key role in the highly competitive BUCS league (British Universities & Colleges Sport). His achievements include two BUCS Championship titles and one league victory. Additionally, he was named in the BUCS University Team of the Season in his final year.
Milo has appreciated the help from coaching staff at Truro College and Exeter University, in enabling him to improve aspects of his game, and especially former Pirates coach Louie Tonkin with his plethora of knowledge.
Family have been immensely supportive throughout all Milo’s years playing. His dad Luke played rugby for Wasps back in the amateur days, and his also sporting mum Tania played national netball for Buckinghamshire.
A favourite player of Milo’s was former formidable Springboks’ lock ‘Bakkies’ Botha (John Philip Botha!), who he always watched when younger. As for other interests he enjoys most sports and loves being outdoors doing water skiing and fishing, and more recently getting into golf.
