Whitley Warriors are delighted to announce the return of netminder Dean Bowater for remainder of the 2022-23 season.
23-year-old Bowater started out with Kingston Sharks’ Under 16s side in 2011, remaining with the team for three seasons before moving to Bradford Bulldogs in 2014 where he played 3 games in NIHL 2 further to icing for both Bradford and Sheffield’s Under 16s and Under 18s outfits.
In his 2015-16 campaign, Bowater divided his ice time between the Bulldogs and Hull, and recorded a save percentage of 92% for both Bradford and Kingston’s Under 18s teams. Icing for Hull Jets for a further four seasons, the shot stopper most recently made 15 appearances in the side’s 2019-20 title-winning campaign whilst also featuring in 6 league games with Nottingham Lions in NIHL 1. He joined Whitley Warriors last season, saving 90.36% of shots over 30 games with over 1,100 minutes on the ice.
Welcome back Dean!
