LIAM TO LIGHT THE LAMP
Tonight the Solent Devils are very excited to announce their second player signing for the upcoming 2025/26 season!
The Solent Devils keep the ball rolling with the re-signing of Clutch Scoring Forward Liam Coleman!
After a successful 2024/25 season which saw Coleman finish 3rd in the league for game winning goals and 2nd on the team in points, Liam now looks to re-join the south coast team to push again for silverware!
Coleman will be joining the team for his 4th season in September. His 2024/25 season saw him finish 2nd on the team in points with 46 points in just 29 regular season games! This was made up of 23 goals and 23 assists.
Coleman was also a key contributor when it mattered most, picking up 3 points across the 2 Solent Devils Playoff Games (1 goal 2 assists) and leading the team during their Britton Cup run with 7 points in just 4 games, made up from 6 goals and an assist!
We interviewed Coleman to get an insight into his thoughts on last season, re-signing with the Devils and his plans for the upcoming season:
You finished second on the Solent Devils in team scoring, what aspects of your game do you believe contributed most to this success?
I’d say my ability to read the game contributes a lot to my points output, knowing the spaces I need to occupy to give myself the best chances of scoring and creating those chances.
Liam begun last season closer to home with the new Swindon Wildcats 2 team before deciding to return to his former club in the Solent Devils. Reflecting on this Coleman said,
Returning for me was a no brainer, although not the closest team to me, I feel at home with Solent. I think it was the best suit to me and gets the best out of me as a player.
Building from this we discussed the Team Dynamic and Chemistry with him reuniting with former teammates in Buckle, Penny and Banner last season and how they impacted his and the teams performance,
It was great to play along side them again finally.
I think when hopping into a team with familiar faces, it helps settle any nerves or worries, allows us all to play freely and get the best out of ourselves.
Looking to the 2025/26 season, we asked Coleman about his personal goals and how he plans to have an impact on the teams overall success.
My personal goals for the year are just to try to better myself from the last season.
For the coming season, hopefully I’ll continue scoring some important goals for the team but this time with a trophy at the end of the campaign!
Finally, Liam concluded with a message to the fans,
Playing in front of the Devils fans is awesome, definitely spurs me on as a player when they’re doing their thing, being loud.
Hopefully next season we can provide them better home performances and give them lots to shout about!
