Questions & Answers

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

I believe the team we will have next year can win the Premier division, but also the team are all friends and I think it will be a great atmosphere. The weekends away will be fun and that is very important.

What will you bring/contribute to the team?

I think I can win a lot of games for the team, but again I think it’s very important that the team has fun and that there is a good vibe within the team.

What are you looking to achieve with Barrow this season?

I believe that if everybody plays well and we can all be there on the British League weekends, we can win the league.

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

I do believe Barrow can win the league. First reason being the standard of the players in the team: from the top of the team to the bottom of the team [it’s] strong, which is important, and also we have international experience which should favour us in the close matches.
