Pennington has been given a three year contract with us today. He is 20 now so that is quite a show of confidence for the lad. Seems to have passed under the radar a bit in comparison with garbutt, browning or galloway. Apparently he's a cb/ rb would be great if one of our lads could become our answer to the backup right back situation. Always nice to see youngsters coming through, good luck to him!
{Ed025's Note - i second that mate..

With living in wallasey I have seen pennigton play for tranmere when they were in leauge 1. he looked a decent fullback and could easily play at cb. a loan to championship club would be good for him then year after he will be able to compete a right back.

Good info Bretto, do you see him as a cb or a rb long term? We seem to have young Centrẻ halls who can play fullback but not an attacking fullback like a garbutt on the right

We have Jonjoe Kenny for that Clarkey.

i think he will properly turn out to be a cb he also got voted Coventry young player of year

Haha, seen him for England under 17s and a few times for the youth teams. Makes really good runs, has lots of energy, quick and very aggressive. Hope he makes it.

Saw he was captain for the u21s in the game they played tonight, must be highly thought of to be captain for them at 18! Fingers crossed he can make it!
