Whitley Warriors are delighted to announce the re-signing of hardworking forward Ross Douglass.
Now heading into his tenth season at the club, 26-year-old Douglass progressed through Whitley’s junior ranks, icing with the Under 15s and Under 18s, fulfilling the role of alternate captain for both sides.
Douglass made his senior debut with the Warriors in his 2016-17 campaign, playing 17 league games in NIHL North 1 further to captaining the Under 20s. The forward then completed his transition to the senior team and isn’t afraid to use his physical style of play. Despite missing several games over the last few seasons due to external commitments, he always gives his all when he’s on the ice.
“I’m excited to be re-signing for another season,” Douglass said. “I really enjoyed playing in the SNL last season and feel we showed we could challenge with any team in the league. With the team we’ve got, I’m sure we will be able to push for silverware this season and show the league what Whitley is all about.”
“Dougie always brings energy to the team and is a big loss when not there, he will always give me 100%,” said Head Coach Tony Hand.
