Whitley Warriors are delighted to announce that young talent Liam Smedley will once again wear the maroon and gold.

21-year-old Liam iced for Newcastle Vipers, Northern Stars and Billingham Stars junior clubs before moving to the Whitley junior set up in 2013-14. He made his senior debut in 2014-15 and is a valuable member of the team as he goes into his sixth year in maroon and gold.

“I’m really happy and excited to be back for another season,” Liam said.

He was also confident about Warriors’ prospects for the upcoming campaign: “I believe we’ll have one of the strongest squads in the league, there’s no reason why we can’t go on and win the league this season.”

Welcome back Liam!
