Whitley Warriors are pleased to confirm the re-signing of long-serving forward Callum Watson.

Bringing much experience to Whitley’s roster, Watson made his debut during the Warriors’ 2006-07 campaign and he has remained at the club ever since.

Proving to be highly influential in front of the net throughout his career, Watson also represented Team GB at the World Junior Championships in his 2008-09 campaign, notching 1 goal and 2 assists in 5 games at the tournament to help the Under 18s side achieve a gold medal.

Watson’s firepower has stood the Warriors in good stead over the years with the forward notably finding himself Whitley’s top points scorer in consecutive seasons in 2012 and 2013. The near decade between then and last season certainly hasn’t blunted his sharpness for goal, scoring 15 times and assisting on 20 other goals for 35 points from 28 games.

Welcome back, Callum!
