The EDG Property Solihull Barons are pleased to welcome onboard young defenceman Billy Crofts who will join us from Nottingham Lions. Through 22-23, his first full-time season as a senior, the 18 year old split playing duties between the division 1 and 2 Notttingham Lions. The prospect of a new environment is exciting for the teenager :
“I am really excited to be joining the Barons this year and the opportunity to play with a core group that have had success in the past, and with a good opportunity within the upcoming season.
Phil Lee, head coach of the Barons was confident that Crofts has the skills to play an effective game with the Barons while also pushing on his own development :
“I was delighted to secure the services of this young and up and coming defenceman, who moves to us from Nottingham. Having seen Billy play and also having talked with him, I feel Billy will be a real asset to the defensive unit, with his no nonsense and gritty approach to the game. I look forward to working with and developing Billy further. Welcome on board Billy.
Join with us in welcoming Billy to Hobs Moat and stay tuned for further player news.
