BRITISH Universities & Colleges Player of the Year Will Cargill is the latest recruit for the Cornish Pirates.

The fly-half/full-back has signed at the Mennaye for the 2015/16 season from the Yorkshire Carnegie Academy, where he was a senior player.

The 26-year-old also had a successful season captaining Leeds Beckett University's rugby side, who beat Loughborough 31-23 in the BUCS Final.

Director of rugby Ian Davies said: "Will has achieved a great deal of success this season in winning the BUCS competition with Leeds Beckett, being named as BUCS Player of the Year and also winning his England Students caps.

"I am sure his strong work ethic will see him continue to develop and be an important member of the squad over the next couple of seasons."
