Terengganu Hockey Team (THT) unveiled their squad for the 2015 TNB-MHL Premier League challenge last night in a ceremony at the Primula Hotel, Kuala Terengganu.
2014 'double' winner THT will continue to be guided by Sarjit Singh and he will be assisted by Mohamad Shamsol Ismail and Nurul Fakri Mohamad Alias. Roshali Tahar is the team manager and Arman Che Mohamad is his assistant.
THT retained most of the players that helped them to their inaugural titles last season with brothers Faizal Saari and Fitri Saari are expected to continue playing prominent roles in the squad.
Other familiar names are Ismail Abu, Azlan Misron, Jivan Mohan, Engku Abdul Malek, Muhammad Firhan Ashari and Tengku Ahmad Tajuddin while Muhammad Hafizuddin Othman and Mohamad Hazrul Faiz will continue their rivalry to play between the posts.
Last season, THT were powered by their South Korean players. However this season they opted for Latin flavours with three Argentine players signed for the campaign.
The trio are led by the experienced Ignicio Quilez. The rest of the Argentines are defenders Nicolas Cicileo and midfielder Pablo Trevisan. Jose Leandro Tolini provides an Italian flavour to the THT midfield.
Pakistan international midfielder, Ahmad Shakeel Butt who helped his country to win the silver medal at the 2014 Incheon Asian Games completes THT foreign players quota.
