Seven members of the Cornish Pirates squad have committed to the title-chasing RFU Championship outfit. Rob Cook, Wes Davies, Rob Elloway, Tom Kessell, Laurie McGlone, Alan Paver and Ryan Storer have all signed new deals with the Pirates, who are through to the play-off semi-finals. The retention of Cook is a massive fillip for the Cornishmen, with the full-back having attracted attention from a number of Premiership outfits. Paver's new deal will see him represent the Pirates for an 11th season, with the prop being granted a testimonial. Pirates chief executive Rod Coward said: "This announcement of current playing squad members who have re-signed for season 2012-13 clearly shows our intention to be strong competitors in the Championship and British & Irish Cup next season. "I am delighted that this group have decided to commit to the Pirates and will be making a further announcement next week. "We have also readily agreed to Alan Paver's request to grant him a well-deserved testimonial next season and I'm sure all supporters will eagerly support Paves accordingly."
