Commenting on the signing of the 22-year-old, Pirates’ joint head coach Gavin Cattle, said: “With Cam Jones out with an ankle injury and Will Rigelsford not available at this present time, we needed to bolster our squad.
“Will Becconsall himself has been injured, but he has worked his way back to fitness with a couple of run outs for Exeter University, plus he that experience of having played for the Chiefs in the Premiership and Champions Cup.
“We are excited to be working with him and it once again underlines our good relationship with Exeter.”
Shoulder injuries in the past two seasons have hampered Becconsall’s progress with the Chiefs, but he has featured 22 times for the club.
Beconsall is the nephew of former Pirates scrum-half, Garry Becconsall, who played for the club between 2002 and 2004.
