The Deeside Ducks have announced the signing of Rory Sillery to add to their roster for their debut 2024/25 Laidler Division season.

The 19 year old defenceman is a former Widnes junior academy player and has recently been playing for the Widnes-based Riverside Raiders recreational team. 

Talking about joining the Ducks, Rory said:

“I am honoured to get the opportunity to train and play alongside everyone.  I feel that it is going to be a good season and I can’t wait to see where it goes.”

Deeside Juniors Head Coach James Parsons said of Sillery: 

“Rory wasn’t able to make it to our trials in June, but he jumped in with us for a session and fit right in with the team. Rory has a great work rate and can play both forward and defence, which will be a massive help for the team this season. He is another player who has joined us with a great attitude and the drive to transition to league hockey. Welcome, Rory!”
