LONDON, UK – Streatham Redskins Head Coach Barry Spours stepped up his summer recruitment campaign this week by raiding Invicta Dynamos for another of their 2009/10 championship squad.

Following in the footsteps of Joe Johnston towards the South London based Redskins is talented young defenseman Jack Tarczycki. The twenty year old blue liner originally played as a junior at Streatham before making his Redskins debut in 2005. He then took the step up to the English Premier League with a move to Bracknell Bees before heading to Invicta Dynamos two seasons ago.
Spours is delighted with his latest signing and feels that the time is right for Tarczycki to return to the High Road:
“When Jack left Streatham to play for Bracknell Bees I was playing for the Redskins at the time and I totally understood his reasons for wanting to play in a higher league” said the Streatham coach: “His time at Invicta was understandable too, although I had always hoped that he would return to Streatham when the time was right”
Tarczycki may be a commentator’s nightmare with his tongue twisting surname, however he is highly rated in the English National League. He enjoyed a solid campaign with the Dynamos last season as he finished with a league winners medal along with four goals and eleven assists in thirty five appearances. Spours believes that Tarczycki is all the better for his time spent in Kent:
As a junior at Streatham
“Jack has come a long way in the past two seasons and his return to us is going to really strengthen our defence. Defensively we had some of the very best young British players on the squad last season but adding Jack into the mix will give some very strong defensive pairing options going forward,
“One of Jack’s strengths his ability to turn defensive play into offensive opportunities very quickly and he picks up goals and assists as he is not afraid of going forward when an opportunity arises. This is another great signing for us and I look forward to seeing Jack back in a Streatham jersey where he truly belongs”
Streatham are hoping to announce more signings as the summer goes on and Spours is confident of adding a few more new faces to the side, in addition to the return of many of last years squad.
