Tranmere have handed youth scholar Dale Jennings a professional contract until June 2012. The striker made his first team-debut against Charlton this season and has made five more appearances since, scoring the winning goal at Bristol Rovers. The 17-year old joined Tranmere's Centre of Excellence two years ago and boss Les Parry said: "Dale has progressed well this season and doesn't look out of place in our first team. "He's only young but he has shown glimpses of his potential so far and if he continues to work hard then I'm sure he has a bright future ahead of him." Jennings added: "It is a great day for me, all apprentices dream of the day they sign their first professional contract. "I'm really pleased the club has given me this opportunity and hopefully I can repay them on the pitch."
