After joing Central Coast Mariners, Pennock told the club’s official media team “I’m so excited to be joining the Mariners for this season. It is a move that we have been working on for a while, so to officially be a Mariner is incredible.

“As soon as I spoke to Emily [Husband] and she described the family feel between the club and the local community, I knew that it was a project that I wanted to be a part of. I feel like my ambitions and values align perfectly with the club.

“I’m an aggressive forward who will always work hard for the team. I want to do everything this season to help the team challenge at the top of the table and have a strong finals run, trying to better last season’s results. I can’t wait to get started, meet our incredible fans and play in this amazing stadium.”

Central Coast Mariners kick-off the new A-League Women season with a fixture against Sydney FC on 2 November 2024.
