Streatham IHC are delighted to announce that net-minding duties will be filled again by experienced stopper Tom Annetts. The 35 year old joins us after last icing with Bracknell Hornets in 2019/20, where he played a big role between the pipes for the Berkshire club.
The Reading born stopper has enjoyed a long career in the game after progressing through the Bracknell junior system and making his debut for the Bees back in 2003. Tom then went on to appear for Guildford Flames, Basingstoke Bison, Oxford City Stars, Slough Jets and MK Thunder, bagging EPL League and Play-Off Championship medals along the way, stunning!
He now steps up with existing netminding bud' Nate Gregory for the 2021/22 season.
"I'm excited to be back at the high road next season and look to carry on what we started last year in front of the great fans. The team Paynts is building is strong and gives us the best chance every night."
Tom fits in with our current netminding duo of Nate Gregory, Coach Ben added:
"Tommy is a experienced goalie who was key to our success last season. He is experienced and calm in big situations and kept us in some key games last year giving us an opportunity to win every game. It’s great to have that level of goal tending back along side his leadership that he brings. It’s comforting to know that we have a goal tender of Tommys calibre onboard."
Own and loan Annetts' jerseys
Tom Annetts #95 game worn home, away and warm up jerseys are all available through our popular own and loan scheme. You can get your name or message on the back of his jersey(s) throughout the season and then you get to keep it once the season is done. We will wash out any game stains before you get hold of it (unless you prefer otherwise) so it really is a great offer.
To keep it fair, we ask that you email our management stating which of Tom's jerseys you are interested in (home/away/warm up) and if we have multiple bids then we will draw names out of a hat. Jerseys are £100 and you can register interest by emailing:
