Cornish Pirates lock King signs new contract

Josh King is a former Scotland youth international

Cornish Pirates lock Josh King has agreed a new contract with the Championship club.

The 23-year-old Scottish forward will enter his third season in Penzance, having scored two tries in 42 appearances.

King, who has been a first choice in the pack this season and captained the club a number of times, is the second player to agree a new deal after scrum-half Dan Hiscocks.

"His versatility to play both in the back row and at lock has been invaluable throughout this season, and his development to call the lineout and his leadership have also been standouts for us," joint-head coach Alan Paver said.
