Decarlo Trerise: Cornwall back agrees new one-year contract

Cornish-born Decarlo Trerise is eligible to play for Jamaica

Cornwall's Decarlo Trerise has signed a new one-year contract.

The 28-year-old has been with the League One side since coming through an open trial before the club began.

The back made 16 appearances in the 2022 season and 12 in 2023 after an injuries hampered his campaign which saw him also cover the forwards.

"I don't mind doing the grunt work of carrying the ball and making tackles, so playing as a middle didn't faze me at all," he told the club website.

"We had a really good end to the season, and I think you could see from the video what it meant to everyone to beat Rochdale.

"For me as a Cornishman, to see Cornwall, and rugby league in Cornwall, progress has been incredible.

"Next year is about further progress, although we are realistic enough to know that Rome was not built in a day."

Cornwall head coach Mike Abbott added: "Injuries and the form of others meant Dec didn't, perhaps, play as much as we all would have wanted him to last year.

"But his attitude was first-class, and he trained the house down at all times.

"Dec really is a beacon for Cornish boys to be a part of rugby league in Cornwall, and once you are given that opportunity, you grab it with both hands."
