The Direct Taxis Solihull Barons have added significant quality to their roster following the signing of highly experienced forward Ashley Calvert. 30 year old Calvert has spent the bulk of his career with the National and EPL Sheffield Steeldogs where his gritty, physical play made him a mainstay of their forward lines and Barons coach Callum Bowley will be looking for more of the same in Solihull.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI am delighted to welcome Ash on board and have him in the lineup for the weekend. He\u2019s an experienced forward who has consistently played at a high level during his career and always puts up good numbers. He\u2019s got a good eye for goal and battles hard every game, and he\u2019s one of those players you hate playing against but would love to have on your team. He will add a lot of quality to our team and will add toughness, leadership and a winning mentality, which is exactly what we want. I expect Ash to make a big impact and play a big role for us this season<\/i><\/p>\n

For Calvert the chance to impress at a new club was a big draw.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m excited for my new adventure with the Solihull Barons and can\u2019t wait to get going. I\u2019m looking to add some leadership, hardwork and a bit more grit to the team. I\u2019ll be doing all I can to help us bring in some silverwear and have a great season.<\/em><\/p>\n

Ashley should be on the ice for Sunday\u2019s tie against the Lions and he will no doubt be keen to make a big impression on the home support. Face-off 5:30.<\/b><\/p>\n

Ashley\u2019s own and loan shirts, like those of fellow late sigining Elliot Farrell are still available at \u00a360 on a first come, first serve basis – contact solihullbarons@gmail.com.<\/strong><\/p>\n
