Alex Penny and Jacob Fields re-sign for Bedford Blues

Bedford Blues are delighted to announce that two more members of the front row club have put pen to paper on new deals to remain at Goldington Road.

Returning for another season in a Blues jersey to bolster the front row will be prop Alex Penny and hooker Jacob Fields.

Penny is an uncompromising tighthead prop who has England Under 16 honours and made a huge impact for Henley Hawks before securing a move to Ealing Trailfinders. While at Vallis Way, he played 24 times and scored two tries in his debut season and helped the west London club secure promotion to the Championship.

Packing down with Penny for another year will be exciting hooker Fields, 25, who has continued his development while at Goldington Road. Having come through the Bath Academy, Fields moved on to Loughborough Students where he benefitted from the coaching of George Chuter while also completing a degree in Sports Science and Management. He has made 16 appearances for Bedford this season contributing two tries to the team who reached the British & Irish Cup semi-final.
