Businessman Richard Wastnage has joined the board at Cornish Pirates after investing in the Champ club.

Wastnage was co-founder of pharmaceutical firm the Pharmaxo Group which he sold in 2024.

He currently owns One Atlantek - a hospitality and property group that sponsors the club.

"I'm really looking forward to helping the Pirates to build on their strong and vibrant rugby culture, heritage and supporter engagement both on and off the field," Wastnage said.
