Telford Tigers are pleased to announce the signing of Tate Shudra for the forthcoming season. Twenty year old Shudra has appeared at National League level for Leeds Knights and Sheffield Steeldogs in recent seasons. The left handed shot forward will add depth to the roster in the 2025/26 season.
Tate commented, “I’m really excited to be making the move to Telford this year. It is a big step forward in my development. Tommy (Watkins) is a great coach who does everything for his teams’ success, and consistently develops strong young players. I hope to be able to prove to both myself and my teammates that I am someone to depend on and help push for a productive season.”
Tom Watkins, Head Coach and General Manager, commented on the signing of Shudra:
“’Tate is a player that I have kept tabs on over the last few years. We have enquired in the past about his availability so when I got a message, whilst on holiday recently, saying he was available there was nothing to deliberate about and I got straight in touch with him and came to an agreement the same day.
He is young, but has been in the league two or three seasons now and is very motivated by the move and the chance to develop his game further in Telford.
We feel he is a player with offensive upside and confident he is a player who will contribute positively to the team. He has good size, can protect the puck and is good in one on one situations but also has the ability to make heads up plays. I’m excited to see Tate in a Tigers shirt.”
