Cornishman Becconsall commits to Pirates

The Cornish Pirates are delighted to announce the permanent signing of Will Becconsall from Exeter Chiefs ahead of the 26/27 season.

Cornish Scrum Half, Becconsall, has plenty of top level experience under his belt at the tender age of 23, playing in the Chiefs PREM Rugby Cup Final win in 2023 as well as PREM Rugby and European Champions Cup Rugby. Becconsall has made 13 appearances for the Pirates, with his only try so far coming against Chinnor last month

Joint Head Coach, Gavin Cattle, was delighted to bring back another local lad into the squad.

“Will has had some tough luck with injuries the past couple of seasons. He has a strong kicking game and has an old head on young shoulders. He has infectious energy that put smiles on faces. A enthusiastic, talented Cornish lad – a no brainer!”

Will spoke of his excitement to return to home soil. “I’ve loved my time down here over the last couple of years and really looking forward to the season ahead. The club has a great bunch of lads and a great fan base, can’t wait to be playing rugby on home soil.”
