Big boost for coach Tait as forward Clarke-Pizzo signs on again at Peterborough Phantoms

The club has confirmed the re-signing of the Peterborough-born forward, and the player is delighted to have committed to another campaign with his hometown club.

"I am really excited to be back in Peterborough and to get back underway," said Clarke-Pizzo.

"It's going to be a different season and I look forward to seeing what we can achieve.

"With a group of key returning players and with the additions we have picked up, I believe we have a chance to do something special.”

Head coach Ashley Tait is also delighted by the capture of Clarke-Pizzo.

“Morgan gives us that bit more depth and as he showed last year, can play up and down the line up," said Tait.

"The biggest thing for me is that we continue to build on the progress made last year.”
