Yorkshire-born Matt Ross qualifies to play for Wales through his father

Cornwall have signed Welsh forward Matt Ross for the 2024 League One season.

The 31-year-old played for London Skolars in the third tier last season and has also spent time at Keighley and Toulouse Olympique

A former England Students player, he featured for Wales in a friendly game against Cumbria earlier this year.

"Looking at Cornwall as an opposing player, I was really impressed with what the club were doing," Ross told the club website.

"I have played at this level for a number of years now and I hope my experience can help Cornwall because I have been there and done it in League One."

Cornwall head coach Mike Abbott added: "Matt has an excellent pedigree in this competition and he caused us problems when we faced him.

"He's a direct runner who gives us further strength in the back row positions and with the season slightly longer than 2023 in terms of games we will play, depth to our squad will be vital."
