RSSHowey and Flav sign
Thu 05, 2010 11:23
Whitley Warriors completed two key signings last night when player/coach Simon Leach confirmed that Dale Howey and James Flavell had agreed to another season at Hillheads.
“I’m over the moon that we have signed Dale,” he said, “as he is without doubt, along with Ritchie Thornton, the best defender in the ENL North.
“He is our ‘Mr Dependable’, can play 45 minutes for us per night if required and is our driving force in a lot of games.
“Dale is a very consistent performer,” Leach added, “and even when we had our slump prior to Christmas, he was still playing to the same level; and adding him to the defenders we have already signed is just the icing on the cake and once again means we have a strong looking blue line.”
And should the opposition get through, the coach is delighted to be able to announce James Flavell will once again be guarding the Warriors goal when the new season gets underway in the autumn.
“After an impressive first season at Whitley, when he just got better and better, he is another key player for us,” said Leach.
“James works hard at his game and has a fantastic attitude and such a professional approach each time he steps on the ice.
“His performance in the play-offs especially was outstanding and he thoroughly deserved to end that portion of the season with a save average of over 95% - a remarkable figure for a goalie at this level – and I am very pleased he will be with us again next season.
“Now we have most of the squad signed, “added the coach, “and I just need fill in the gaps and hope to tie up one or two more players very soon.”
