MARLEN Walker is the latest addition to the Cornish Pirates' squad ahead of their clash with Bristol on Sunday.
The 26-year-old prop has signed on a short term deal from Weston-super-Mare, having previously represented New Zealand Secondary Schools, Auckland Blues and Western Force Academies.
Pirates director of rugby Ian Davies said: "The prop forward resources have again taken a hit.
"Marlen has ambitions to play at this level or above so this short term contract works for both him and us.”
"From what we have seen Marlen is very dynamic with ball in hand and should bolster our forward ball carriers."
