Telford Tigers are pleased to announce the return of defender Ross Connolly for the 2025/26 season. 26 year old Connolly is back for his 3rd season with the club after first appearing for the Tigers during the National League title winning season in 2021/22 and returning to the club last year after appearing for Hull Seahawks and Solway Sharks in between.
Ross commented, “I am excited to be back playing in Telford for the coming season. I missed some games last year through injury and hope that is now behind me. Tom (Watkins) has put together a quality roster for the forthcoming season and I feel I can add to the defensive core at the club. I can’t wait to get started.”
Tom Watkins, Head Coach and General Manager, commented on the signing of Connolly.
“’Ross has been unlucky with injuries over the last few seasons, despite best efforts often out of his control. We like Ross’ game, he skates well, he’s a big solid player, keeps it simple and has a good set of fundamentals. He understands his strengths plus has good size and range but plays a defence first game and can also get the puck moving. I feel that this is an area of his game that he can develop and add more offence from the blue line.”
