Questions & Answers

You could play for any British League team you want, why Barrow?

Jonny (Crawford) is my dad, he knows a lot and I’m very close to the Barrow boys. It’s important to play with people you get on with, especially the boss Dunx (Duncan Crawford, Assistant Team Manager).

What will you bring/contribute to the team?

A different style because I’m a left hander. A bit of fun, laughter and high quality table tennis.

What are you looking to achieve with Barrow this season?

We’re going to take the title.

Do you believe Barrow can win the Premiership this season? …and why?

We’ve got a strong team of World class players and great National players, so why not? We are all good friends have known each other for years.
