Cornwall RLFC winger Decarlo Trerise has agreed a new contract for the Betfred League 1 season.
The 27-year-old was an integral part of the Choughs’ inaugural playing squad as the side made its professional rugby league bow last term.
Trerise, raised in Cornwall but with Jamaican heritage, successfully came through the club’s open player trial which was held back in January at the Trevigals Sports Hub in Newquay.
He made his Cornwall debut off the bench in the side’s season opener at North Wales Crusaders. And he then started in black and gold for the first time as Cornwall hosted Midlands Hurricanes a week later in the Choughs’ first match on Duchy soil.
“Last year was a real learning curve for me and the team,” Trerise told cornwallrlfc.co.uk. “I found it really tough at the start – like we all did – but as the season progressed, everyone progressed.
“I certainly felt like I improved personally as it really was a case of learning on the job. I had played some rugby league before but never at this level but it was an enjoyable experience and I gained lots from playing with players who gave me confidence.
“By the end of the season we were such a tight knit group and with a full pre-season, we can certainly improve even further. Those improvements will be gradual, but with every step forward we take, it will help me as a player whilst the team and the club develop.”
