Plymouth Albion have extended the contracts of back-row Herbie Stupple and prop Dan Pullinger to the end of next season.

Stupple, 25, joined Albion in 2012 from Exeter Chiefs, having spent the previous season dual-registered at the Brickfields-based club.

He came back from four injury-hit seasons to play 30 times this campaign.

Prop Pullinger, 21, is a former England Under-18 international and played 19 times in National One this season.

They follow Nile Dacres in agreeing new terms for the club's second season in National One, having been relegated from the Championship at the end of last season.

Albion are looking for a new head coach after Graham Dawe was dismissed last month following a takeover by former players Priday and David Venables after entering administration.
