JOINT BOSSES FOR FEN TIGERS

MILDENHALL have appointed Jason Gardner as joint team manager to work alongside the experienced Malcolm Vasey this season.

Gardner has had extensive involvement with the reigning NDL champions over recent years including running their second halves and also as a programme writer and stats man.

Fen Tigers co-owner Phil Kirk said: “We spoke with Malcolm at the end of our title-winning year about the need for us to plan for the future and Malcom was, like us, extremely positive about Jason joining him.

“Malcom has so much knowledge to share, and there is no keener student than Jason. We are confident they will make an excellent team and that Jason will benefit from working with Malcom.”
