Andy Long del Newcastle Falcons ficha por El Salvador
sep.08, 2009, categoria: Rugby
Aunque han resultado dificiles y delicadas las negociaciones para incorporar a la plantilla al ex internacional inglés y jugador del Newcastle Falcons Andy Long de 32 años que esta temporada finalizó contrato con su club, han llegado a buen puerto.
Long es un veterano talonador de calidad contrastada que ha realizado toda su carrera deportiva en la Guinness premiership inglesa salvo un breve paso por el Munster en la temporada 2003/04. Con experiencia internacional (2 cap con Inglaterra), el ex falcons recalará finalmente en Valladolid a pesar de las ofertas que tenía de otros equipos.
La amistad con el entrenador del Cetransa y ex-compañero Joe McDonnel y el conocimiento que tiene del club por sus enfrentamientos con los Falcons en la Challenge cup los dos últimos años, han hecho posible que long se decantara por la oferta del club chamizo.
Según palabras del Director tecnico, Israel Gotostiza, " el puesto de talonador era una de las piezas del puzzle que nos faltaba para completar la delantera, y creo que con Andy hemos acertado de pleno, al poder contar con un jugador de maximo nivel que aúna veterania y calidad."
