The Ospreys can confirm prop Garyn Phillips has been sent out on loan to English Championship side Cornish Pirates.
Phillips, 20, is a Wales U18s, U19s and U20s international and made his debut for the Ospreys last season.
The 6ft and 113kg loosehead prop featured in the Ospreys 24-19 victory over Leinster in Dublin during that campaign.
The short-term loan deal will allow Phillips to get valuable playing time and the Ospreys can recall him if required.
