CHRIS Pennell's rugby career has received another boost after the 18-year-old was offered a full-time contract with Worcester Warriors.
The teenager from Pershore was an integral part of England's squad that claimed third place at the Under-19 World Cup.
Pennell, like fellow internationals Matthew Mullan and Sam MacDonald who have also been offered deals at Sixways, has enjoyed a successful season at both club and international level.
All are members of Worcester's competitive A League squad and held in high regard by Academy manager Andrew Stanley.
"All the boys have made excellent progress and we are delighted to retain them," he admitted.
