Trio commits future to Newcastle Falcons
Three of Newcastle Falcons’ homegrown backs have set their futures
to the club with the news that Tom Penny, Brett Connon and Dan Marshall
have all signed new deals.
Penny, has already made 18 first-team appearances for the Falcons, scoring in October’s Premiership meeting with Northampton Saints in one of six league outings this term.
The 21-year-old has been involved with the Falcons for over a decade having joined the club at the age of 11.
Fly-half/full-back Connon, represented Ireland Under-20s during this year’s Six Nations, kicking a decisive penalty in their 26-20 away win over England Under-20s at Newcastle’s Kingston Park. Now 19 years old, the former Carlisle RFC player has been with the Falcons since the age of 15 and made his first-team debut during this season’s Kings of the North competition.
Winger Marshall, is also among the latest players committing their futures to the Falcons, the 18-year-old having graduated through the Falcons’ AASE apprenticeship scheme at Gosforth Academy.
Representing England at the Junior Commonwealth Games in Samoa last year, Marshall also helped the Falcons win their group stage in the Singha Premiership Rugby 7s Series before making three first-team appearances in this season’s European Challenge Cup.
