London Progress has announced two great new signings to add to its already
formidable British League squad. In its audacious attempt to win the British League for an eighth consecutive time, the London based club has signed European Cadet team gold medallist and individual silver medallist, Darius Knight. Darius is one of England's most exciting young prospects and with his recent success in the European Championships, Olympic participation in 2012 is a realistic prospect. At only fifteen years of age, and already ranked in the English senior top ten, Progress are making a clear statement about its future intentions.

The second summer signing for London Progress is Ireland's leading player for the past two decades, Mr Colum Slevin. Whereas Darius brings youthful dynamism to the team, Colum brings with him years of experience, particularly from his many years playing in the highly competitive German League. Colum, who already plays alongside Progress team captain, Jason Sugrue, in the Irish National Team, will add yet another powerful dimension to the British Club Champions. With England star, Terry Young remaining at the Number One spot, supported by Cameroon No1 Marco Essomba, Jamaican No1 Darren Blake and former England Junior, Leeroy Pye, it will be a great team that takes the title away from the Progress juggernaught.

Not all the action will be focused on the Men this season. In an attempt to repeat the daring double of four years ago, Progress have reassembled their Women's squad. The only member to survive from those heroic exploits is former England star, Glenda Ashison. Glenda, a highly experiened player, will lead the Progress team into action this season. Accompanying Glenda will be London Progress assistant Secretary, junior coach and regular Progress and Middlesex star, Egle Adomelyte. The final place will go to Japanese student and Progress coach, Kaori Saijo.
