Jack Andrew is a true stalwart of Cornish rugby. Over the last decade and a half, the physical prop has established himself as one of the most reliable and respected front-row operators around.
His transition away from full-time professional rugby to sign with Camborne RFC in 2024 was a massive coup for the Cherry and Whites.Since then he’s brought invaluable leadership and top-tier set-piece dominance to the club.
A graduate of the respected Truro College squad, Jack captained the side to a historic National Schools Cup victory at Twickenham in 2009. In 2010, he joined the Exeter Chiefs Academy to begin his professional development, while also gaining senior experience on loan with Launceston RFC.
He spent a full season playing for Plymouth Albion, cementing his physical presence and refining his trade at loosehead and tighthead prop.
Jack returned home to Cornwall and became a legendary figure at the Mennaye Field. Over an 11 year spell with the Cornish Pirates, he racked up 236 appearances, second only to head coach, Alan Paver. He celebrated his testimonial year in 2023, leaving a mark as a mentor to younger players and a Championship powerhouse.
Stepping away from full-time rugby, Jack signed with Camborne RFC for the club’s second season in National League Two West. His impact was immediate. During the 2025 – 26 campaign, he crossed his 50-appearance milestone for Camborne. His dominant performances earned him a spot in The Rugby Paper’s Team of the Season.
Beyond his club campaign with Camborne, Jack has continued to represent the Cornwall County team with pride. In May he was drafted into the starting lineup for the county side, culminating in a spectacular performance at Twickenham where Cornwall defeated Lancashire to reclaim the Cup.
Jack brings elite scrummaging, high tactical IQ, devastating running lines and immense leadership. Being able to switch from tighthead to loosehead and second row, his versatility and phenomenal fitness easily see him completing a full 80 minutes.
With Town moving up a league for the upcoming season, locking Jack down to an extension is a massive statement of intent as they look to establish themselves at the higher level.
