The flow of signing news continuing, Whitley Warriors have announced that forward Alan Yarrow will again be part of David Longstaff’s roster as he embarks on his eighth campaign with the outfit. Coming out of retirement to make his return to the club last season, Yarrow featured in twenty four games and, though unable to pick up a goal for the side, tallied sixty three penalty minutes to demonstrate his assertiveness on the ice. Initially dividing his time between Sunderland Chiefs and Whitley Warriors in 1992, Yarrow enjoyed several spells at the Hillheads club before parting company with the side ahead of a move to Australia. The forward’s most productive season saw him play twenty seven games in the Warriors’ 1997-98 campaign, during which time he recorded eleven goals and three assists. In the same term however, Yarrow was also the side’s most penalised player, racking up two hundred and thirty seven penalty minutes and presenting an edge to his game for which he is perhaps better known today and will no doubt exhibit when he lines up with the Warriors in September. Meanwhile, Whitley Warriors have also confirmed that captain Jamie Tinsley will take time away from the sport following a recent family bereavement.
