With the surname 'Winnan', this gifted Cornishman just had to be a full-back, following in the footsteps of his dad Paul who played 53 times for Cornwall (1970-85).

The announcement of 'Winnan's Duchy Return' was welcome news for Cornish rugby supporters in the summer of 2006, the then 23-year-old heading home after a spell playing for Tarbes in France.

Adryan's youth rugby was played at Penryn, the rising star then moving to Redruth and Ivybridge Community College before joining Saracens in 2001. Ado's three year spell in the Premiership saw him have 39 league outings, besides also playing in three European Challenge Cup campaigns, making 11 more appearances.

During his time with 'Sarries', the England U21s capped player was able to learn a lot from world greats such as Francois Pienaar, Tim Horan, Richard Hill and Thomas Castaignede.

Adryan has always appreciated the support given him by his family, feels that Cornwall is the best place in the world, and reveals that he especially likes his dad's home-made pasties.

A mainstay during 2006-07, Adryan made 29 appearances for the club, scoring six tries. Still a young man his ambition is to be the best he can, to enjoy himself whilst doing it, and to play in the Premiership once more - with the Cornish Pirates.
