Whitley Warriors welcome back hardworking forward Shaun Kippin to their roster as he heads into his fourteenth season at the club.

34-year-old Kippin first made his debut for the Warriors during their 2002-03 season and featured in a further twelve campaigns for the outfit punctuated by a spell with Deeside Dragons from 2012 to 2014. Three-time league title winner Kippin then opted to retire from the sport following his 2018-19 campaign but happily made the decision to return to Hillheads in December 2019, having previously accumulated 254 points across 275 league games for the Warriors in the ENL and NIHL 1 North combined.

Now set to line up for Whitley again in September, Kippin told us yesterday, “I’m very happy to be back playing again for the Warriors. It’s been a long time coming and we are all ready to go.”

Welcome back, Shaun!
