Pirates re-sign prop forward Tyack

Jay Tyack previously made 31 appearances for the Cornish Pirates

Cornish Pirates have re-signed prop Jay Tyack from Premiership club Bristol Bears ahead of the 2024-25 season.

The 28-year-old featured for the Pirates between 2019 and 2021 before signing for Premiership side Worcester Warriors and, shortly after, Bristol Bears.

"Jay gained a lot of experience, building to the Premiership in recent years," said Pirates head coach Alan Paver.

“Last season was unfortunately a start-stop affair for him at Bristol because of injury and sickness, but now back to fitness he is keen and ambitious for what we feel will be a good partnership.

"We are looking for someone of his quality, and he is indirectly keen to relaunch himself, so no finer place than the Pirates where it will be great to work with him again.”

The Pirates get their Championship season underway on 20 September when they face Nottingham, away at the Bay.
