NIHL North News

Warriors secure signing of Lawson and Harley

Following yesterday’s signing news from Hillheads, Whitley Warriors have confirmed that netminder Richie Lawson and sturdy defenceman Harry Harley will remain at the club for another season.

With a save percentage of 92.6%, Lawson was one of the NIHL’s standout shot stoppers in his last campaign, pulling off high quality saves to ensure his teammates remained in with a chance of taking two points from as many fixtures as possible. Being first choice netminder at the club meant that Lawson starred in twenty nine games for the Warriors last season and he now heads into his sixth consecutive spell with the outfit, hoping to build on the success experienced by the team in their last outing.

Likewise, defenceman Harry Harley has signed up for another season with the Warriors. This news follows Harley’s successful 2015-16 campaign which saw the ‘D’ man tally ten goals and eighteen assists whilst putting in consistently strong displays on Whitley’s blue line. Starting out at Hillheads in 2007, Harley progressed from Whitley’s junior setup to play for EPL outfit Peterborough Phantoms in 2013 and it is perhaps this experience which has enhanced Harley’s versatility, the blue liner adapting from his previous role of forward to assume a new position in the Warriors’ defensive zone.
