LEWIS STEPS UP TO NATIONAL
The Solent Devils bid farewell to fan favourite #19 Elliot Lewis as he moves to compete in the NIHL National League next season, after three seasons with Solent icing for the U18’s, NIHL2 and NIHL1 teams playing 104 league games scoring 95 goals and providing 34 assists, we wish Elliot well on the next step of his journey.
When asked about the move Head Coach Alex Murray said
It’s been a busy period for Elliot and I’ve been in conversation with him throughout. Similarly, to previous young players who developed their game at Solent, we had every intention to support Elliot on his quest to play the highest levels possible.
Murray Continues
Whilst I know it’s disappointing for our own supporters and team to be losing Elliot, he goes with all our blessings and best wishes as he aims to crack the national.
Elliot is a superb talent who we have nurtured over the past 4 years! The set up at Solent has facilitated this and we will continue to ensure we bridge the gap for players to get the opportunities in South 1 to increase their chances of playing national level later in their career.
Elliot had a standout season and deserves his chance, and I’m excited about his chances with his next club.
