The Cornish Pirates have signed hooker Will Tanner on a dual-registration agreement with Bath.
Aged 20, the Birmingham-born former England U16 and U18 international made his debut for Bath in the Aviva Premiership against Sale in December, 2011, and has also had loan spells at Clifton, Taunton and Bristol.
Commenting with reference to their squad's latest acquisition, Cornish Pirates head coach Ian Davies said: "Will was to be dual-registered earlier in the season but an injury meant his opportunity was missed.
"He is a talented footballer and is a welcome addition to the squad just prior to the registration deadline on Friday."
