Cornish Pirates have signed Exeter prop Ehren Painter on a short-term loan.<\/b><\/p>\n

The 28-year-old tight-head is returning to full fitness having been out for 15 months with a knee ligament injury.<\/p>\n

Painter played against the Royal Navy in a friendly last month and is in Pirates’ squad to face Coventry in the Champ on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The former Northampton forward joined Exeter in the summer of 2023 and has not played since tearing his anterior cruciate ligament in training in December 2024.<\/p>\n

“We’re incredibly keen to get Ehren playing and getting genuine game-time because that makes him much more selectable in our line-up,” Exeter director of rugby Rob Baxter told the club website.<\/p>\n

“Coming back from a long-term injury without some solid game-time to then go into a Gallagher Prem game or a European one, that would be tough. <\/p>\n

“So, it’s worked out well that Pirates are in a position to need a prop to help them out.<\/p>\n

“It’s a great chance to get Ehren some really valuable game-time and hopefully get him back ready to play regularly.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
