The former Wales international has also represented Leigh Centurions, Toronto Wolfpack, and Workington Town before signing for Hornets in 2020.

Head Coach Matt Calland, who worked with Penkywicz at Halifax, appointed him as captain upon his arrival to the club.

Calland is delighted to have Penkywicz re-sign.

He said: “Sean has agreed to do one more year with us, which is brilliant because his experience is invaluable in this division.

“He is a proven match-winner and a great person to have around the club so we’re hoping we can look after him a bit better than last year.”

The re-signing comes just four days after centre Tom Ashton extended his stay at the club, with Hornets continuing to bolster their squad ahead of the upcoming season.
