Whitley Warriors are delighted to announce the signing of versatile defenceman Shaun Galloway from Teesside club Billingham Stars.
25-year-old Galloway will be no stranger to Warriors fans, having played against Whitley for many years. A product of the Stars junior outfit, he has only twice iced for a club team outside the red and white of Billingham – a solitary appearance for Whitley’s then-Under 20 team, the Renegades, seven years ago, and a stint at Hull Seahawks in 2022-23. Bishop Auckland-born Galloway has played for England at Under 15, Under 16, Under 18 and Under 20 levels and is as comfortable around the opposition’s net as he is patrolling the blue line.
“I’m looking forward to playing in Hillheads, with a few familiar faces in front of a supportive fanbase,” Galloway said. “I’m also looking forward to developing my game under the guidance of Tony and the coaching team. Roll on September!”
“Shaun will be a good addition to the squad and is a player that can play D and also help out up top if needed,” Head Coach Tony Hand said. “He is a strong physical player and I look forward to working with him.”
Shaun will wear the #19 shirt this season and is available for sponsorship immediately at https://whitleywarriors.net/store/player-sponsorship/26-19-shaun-galloway/
Welcome to Whitley Warriors, Shuggy!
