Redruth forwards coach Ashley Morcom has called the try-scoring exploits of Tom Duncan "exceptional".

The 22-year-old back-row forward has already scored 10 tries in eight National Two South matches this season, to add to the 18 he got last season.

"He's a young player, new to the position he's playing, but he seems to be putting performances together," Morcom told 91Èȱ¬ Radio Cornwall.

"Tom has been exceptional this year and he was last year as well."

Duncan made his debut for the Reds as a 19-year-old in 2009 and has since played 68 times for the club.

He has been with Redruth since he was 14 and, despite having ambitions to play at a higher level, is committed to the club until the end of the season.

"He's scoring tries every week so it's a good thing we've got someone like him on our side," added Morcom.
