Plymouth centre Matt Hopper signs for Cornish Pirates

Cornish Pirates

Cornish Pirates have signed Matt Hopper from local rivals Plymouth Albion.

The 25-year-old centre, whose father is former Exeter captain Keith Hopper, moved to Albion in September 2008 after spending a season in Australia.

Pirates chief executive Rod Coward said: "Matt has shown he has the skills to succeed in the Championship.

"We believe he will excel in the environment that [high performance manager] Chris Stirling and his coaching staff are creating."
