Etsimme joukkueeseen nopeaa ja ketterää kundia ja nyt olemme tehneet sopimuksen Colorado Mesa Collegen Peter Andersonin kanssa. Hän tulee pelaamaan monipuolisesti molemmin puolin palloa.
Collegessa hänelle kertyi 161 kiinniottoa, 2965 yds ja 23 TD:tä. Näillä tuloksilla hän on yltänyt myös koulunsa ennätyksiin.
Olemme erittäin tyytyväisiä nopeaan ja sujuvaan sopimusneuvotteluun ja odotamme innolla Peterin saapumista Suomeen toukokuun lopulla.
Tervetuloa Kotkaan Peter!
