Josh Caulfield made one Premiership appearance in his Exeter career, but has spent most of time with the Cornish Pirates

Wasps have signed second-row Josh Caulfield from Championship club Cornish Pirates on a short-term loan.

The 23-year-old, who began his career at Exeter, moved to the Penzance-based club in May after four seasons dual-registered at the Pirates.

Caulfield, who can also play in the back row, will help Wasps who have a number of forwards away on international duty or injured.

Caulfield has played for England Under-20s and made eight Exeter appearances.

"Josh has been an impressive operator in the Championship for a number of seasons now and we look forward to welcoming him to the club," said Wasps head coach Lee Blackett.

He is the third Cornish Pirates player to move to a Premiership club on a short-term deal after Kyle Moyle and Jay Tyack joined Gloucester last month.
