In a big move ahead of the upcoming season, West Yorkshire Hawks have successfully retained the services of star guard Rob Donaldson, a pivotal figure in the team’s maiden campaign.

Clearly, he is a very talented and experienced player but more importantly he deserves to be given recognition, a positive environment and a stage from which to inspire the next generation. He has not disappointed on any fronts. I know he will back leading the charge for Hawks again this season”
As preparations ramp up for preseason training in early August, Donaldson will spearhead the Hawks’ efforts alongside his teammates, gearing up for the season opener in late September.
