Lee Catchpole Forward Senior Norwich, England Bungay

9

"After an inconsistent 2006 campaign, Lee has put a great deal of effort into readying himself for his final campaign. Lee will have additional duties as an attacking midfielder at either flank or the middle. Tactically, Lee can assume several duties on both sides of the ball and will deliver well. The Bulls can ill afford not to have Lee on the pitch. He has prepared and trained hard to avoid injuries that have plagued him in the past. Catchpole has a tremendous attitude and must instill it on the team toward winning the conference championship. Lee will again be the steward of the team and his past experience should help him focus on his player and captain roles." - John Astudillo
