Clan seal the deal with Robert Farmer
Braehead Clan are delighted to announce that British left winger and former Coventry Blaze star, Robert Farmer will be joining the Clan for the 2012/2013 season.
The 21 year old from Nottingham has played for EIHL side Coventry Blaze for the last 2 seasons. Racking up 80pts from 105 games, 39 goals and 41 assists and 165 PIMs. Farmer has also spent time with EIHL side Sheffield Steelers and EPIHL side Sheffield Scimitars, as well as playing for GB, GB U20’s and U18’s.
Farmer is known as a physical player, who can also find the net. The 6’3, 180lbs left winger will be a big asset to the team that we have been building this summer and will add a physical edge to our game.
Clan Coach Jordan Krestanovich added “When I heard that Robert was back in the UK I was definitely interested.”
“ Both Kirsty (Clan GM Kirsty Longmuir) and I contacted each other almost instantly when we heard he was back and looking for a team.”
“He will be a great asset to this team. I have focused on putting together a team that will work hard both on and off the ice. I have confidence in my players and we all have the same goal at the moment….to bring home some silverware this season.”
“Robert seems like a really nice guy and it will be a pleasure to have him on the team this year. He is a skilled player, but he also plays with a physical edge and we need that on the team.”
“All the guys are almost in now, and we have started the pre-season training camp. We have a big weekend coming up and I want the guys fully fit and focused on the games ahead.”
Farmer added “I had been speaking to former Clan Coach Drew Bannister at the start of the off season. I made plans to play elsewhere this season, but for one reason or another those didn’t work out.”
“They say everything happens for a reason, and I believe this.”
“I am really pleased to have signed with the Clan. They seem like a really professional organization and I have spoken to Jordan about his plans for where I fit in with the team, and I am happy.”
“ I am really looking forward to playing for the Clan this season and looking forward to the 2012/2013 season ahead.”
