Matty Ward Signs for Cornish Pirates: “I Can’t Wait to Get Stuck In”

Fresh signing for next season

Cornish Pirates have confirmed that 23-year-old wing Matty Ward will be joining the squad for next season.

Matty arrives from Gloucester Rugby, having also played for Hartpury and previously with Newcastle Falcons.

Plenty of potential

Joint head coach Gavin Cattle said he’s looking forward to welcoming Matty to the team, adding:

“Matty has had exposure with Gloucester in the Premiership Cup and has also had a good season with Hartpury University in the BUCS (British Universities and Colleges Sport) competition.

“He is a player still with a lot of growth in his game, and although injuries have been disruptive at times he has put a good season behind him and is someone who we await working with on his arrival.”

Buzzing to get started

Matty also shared his excitement about making the move to Cornwall:

“I’m absolutely buzzing to be joining the Cornish Pirates next season. It’s a massive opportunity and I can’t wait to get stuck in with the boys, meet everyone, and be part of such a great club.”
