“We’ve got unbelievable fans, a coaching team I’m constantly learning from and great support staff keeping me fit and fed.”
Pennell, son of the late England Test cricketer Graham Dilley, has scored 34 tries in 165 appearances since making his Premiership debut back in 2007,
“Chris has been an outstanding member of the squad both on and off the field,” said director of rugby Dean Ryan.
“We are looking to build a side capable of challenging Europe’s elite and Chris certainly possesses the qualities and characteristics which are essential to that.”
