Silverthorn happy to extend stay at Telford Tigers

Following four successful seasons in Shropshire – where he has led the the team to two league titles, one cup victory and also the Moralee Play-Off Championship – Silverthorn has agreed to extend his stay into a fifth year.

Silverthorn, who was born in Canada and has played in several countries as a professional player, has settled into family life in Shropshire.

“It’s nice to be able to get something worked out so quickly after the season has finished to remain a Tiger,” he said.

“We as a family have made Shropshire our home and have developed a lot of important relationships in the area.

“It’s a situation that is beneficial to both parties and we couldn’t be happier.”
