TEENAGER Noah Sixton will be juggling his studies with playing for the Cornish Pirates next season.
The 18-year-old, who can play as either a centre or wing, has signed a deal with the Greene King IPA Championship side as part of their Player Development Foundation scheme.
He is currently studying at Truro & Penwith College and will also play at Camborne next season on a dual-registration agreement.
Earlier this month, Sixton was part of the Pirates' squad at the Mennaye 10s and has also played for the Exeter Chiefs Academy side and Newquay Hornets.
Ian Davies, director of rugby at the Mennaye, said: "Noah is young man who will combine studying at Truro College and training with us at the Pirates.
"This is again an example of the strong links we have with Truro & Penwith College and how this partnership can benefit our PDF players."
