Cameron Brown: Cornwall's Australian back signs new one-year deal

Cameron Brown scored 14 tries in his first season in England

Cornwall's leading try-scorer Cameron Brown has agreed a new one-year deal.

The Australian, who can play at full-back or stand-off, scored 14 tries for the Choughs last season as they registered five wins in League One.

Brown, who holds dual British and Australian nationality, previously played for Burleigh Bears in the Queensland Cup.

"Moving to England and playing for Cornwall was one of the best decisions I have ever made," Brown said.

"I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience although playing footy in different weather and on muddy pitches isn't something I had encountered before," he told the club website.

"But that's all part of playing over here and overall, I look back and think that my first season from a personal point of view was sweet.

"It was nice to get all the personal accolades for the tries I scored but I know I can kick on in 2024 and that will help the team get better too."

Brown's first season in England left head coach Mike Abbott keen to extend his stay with League One's newest side.

"As far as debut seasons go, Cam's was pretty special. We knew what he was capable of from looking at his highlights reel and he did not disappoint," he said.

"Given the spectacular nature of his tries, we knew it would be tough to keep hold of him for another season, but I think Cam's commitment to Cornwall and our progression as a club, demonstrates we are really moving forward."
