BARBADOS’ hockey player Justin Catlin has been making a big impact in his first year with the Wakefield Hockey Club’s men’s first team in the North Hockey Premier League in England.
With two games left in the season, which started last September, the 25-year-old Catlin has been the team’s leading goalscorer with eight strikes while he is also topping the assists charts.
But Catlin, who plays as an attacking midfielder or in the forward line, said while he fitted into the team eventually, it wasn’t all smooth sailing trying to acclimatise to English conditions.
