New contracts for Hornets duo
ROCHDALE Hornets captain Sean Penkywicz has signed a new deal with the club for the 2021 season.
Penkywicz, 38, joined the Hornets for the 2020 season on a one-year deal, and has agreed to extend his contract for the 2021 campaign.
The former Toronto and Leigh hooker scored in the first friendly against Widnes Vikings in preseason, and will continue really well and he’s coming to the twilight of his career now and I’m really excited he’s decided to play on for another season.”
And Calland received another boost this week with the news Miles Greenwood has signed a new one-year deal that will see him remain as strength and conditioning coach at Rochdale Hornets in 2021.
Greenwood joined Hornets as a player in 2017, enjoying a successful season before retiring part way through 2018 and joining the coaching staff where he has remained.
The 32-year-old also works alongside head coach Calland at Hopwood Hall College, with a strong, growing relationship between the college and the club.
“It’s really exciting times at Rochdale and it’s something I wanted to be part of,” said Greenwood.
“The link with Hopwood Hall College and Toronto Wolfpack show the ambitions of the club and I think it’s a club that are going to surprise a few people. I can’t wait to get back in with the team and start working hard.”
On the news, Calland added: “Miles does a great job for the club.
“Not only is he great at strength and conditioning, he also has great knowledge of rugby league from his experience as a player, and when you combine the both he is a valuable member of the coaching team.”
