Whitley Warriors are delighted to announce the re-signing of forward Thomas Fraser for the 2023-24 season.
19-year-old Fraser started out in Whitley’s junior setup and soon impressed, collecting 36 points in 13 league games during his 2016-17 season with the Under 15s whilst fulfilling the role of alternate captain for the side.
Fraser was then awarded the captaincy in the following season and finished as the outfit’s top points scorer with 28 goals and 6 assists in 12 league games as well as averaging 2 points per game in 16 appearances for the Under 18s. He captained the Under 18s team in his second season with the side and again finished as top points scorer with 58 points in 15 league games further to picking up 12 points in 14 appearances for the Under 20s.
In his 2019-20 season, the left winger made his senior debut, playing 11 games and netting his first goal for the Warriors. He also retained his captaincy with the Under 18s, stepped into the role of alternate captain for the Under 20s and finished the season as top points scorer for both sides. Since making the move to senior hockey, he has fitted in well with the Warriors roster and is particularly looking forward to the season ahead.
“I’m looking forward to being part of the new era under Tony,” Fraser told us. “I’ve got a lot more to give to this team and I know he can help me develop my game to achieve this. I can’t wait to be back in front of the Warriors fans for another year!”
Head Coach Tony Hand said, “Thomas is another young forward I will be looking to push on this year.”
