MATTY DAVIES says Jordan Fisher’s adaptability offers him welcome flexibility as Hull Seahawks’ coach going into the 2024-35 NIHL National season.
Hull-born Fisher, 30, agreed a new deal on Sunday to remain for the 2024-25 season and has been a mainstay for the Seahawks since their inception two years ago, having originally risen through the junior ranks in his hometown. The vast majority of his career has seen him operate as a winger, but Davies believes the right-hander’s future lies in defence moving into the organisation’s third campaign. “Fish will be coming back solely as a D-man this season for us,” said Davies.
In 58 league and play-off games, Fisher – who also played alongside Davies for Hull Pirates and their one season at leeds Knights – posted eight goals and five assists. But it is his ability to play the physical, gritty style of game that has earned him a spot on the Seahawks’ back line, Davies still weighing up his forward options throughout the summer while convinced Fisher is ideally suited for his new role.
