Haverfordwest boss Tony Pennock has signed a one-year contract extension with the Cymru Premier club.

Pennock left his role at Hull City at the end of the 2021-22 season and succeeded Nicky Hayen in July 2022.

The 52-year-old has guided County to Europa Conference League qualification after a play-off final win over Newtown.

European qualification triggered a clause in Pennock's contract which activated a one-year extension.

"I'm obviously still getting over the result on the weekend," Pennock told the club's website.

"But I always knew in the back of my mind that if we did qualify for Europe, it would trigger an extension to my contract, so I'm just pleased for the club that we've managed to achieve getting in to Europe."

Chairman Rob Edwards said the club were "delighted" to trigger the contract extension after theyr qualified for Europe for the second time in their history.

"This group of players and coaching team will go down in the history books, and, based on this achievement in his first season with the club, Tony will go down as one of the best managers the club has had, and as a board we are delighted to extend our working relationship further," Edwards said.
