Whitley Warriors are pleased to announce the re-signing of last season’s Most Valuable Player, defenceman Harry Harley, who will again take the role of alternate captain.
Having broken through the junior ranks at Hillheads, 27-year-old Harley made his senior debut for Whitley Warriors in their 2011-12 season in the English National League, playing 21 league games in which he tallied 6 goals and 9 assists, whilst also enjoying ice time with the Braves and lacing up his skates for GB’s Under 18s outfit at the World Junior Championships where he managed 1 goal and 2 assists in 5 games. Whilst similarly dividing his ice time in the season that followed, Harley also made his EPL debut with Peterborough Phantoms and then signed for the outfit in 2013, featuring in 36 games that season.
A return to Hillheads followed in his 2014-15 campaign and Harley’s attacking play from the blue line continued to impress as he went on to achieve the most goals by a defenceman in NIHL 1 North two seasons later. Harley also played a brief spell with Hull Pirates in his 2018-19 season, collecting 5 points in 8 league games. As well as MVP, Harry was last season’s joint top scorer across league and cup competitions.
Welcome back, Harry!
