LAYLAA DAVIDS EXTENDS WITH HOLCOMBE 🔴⚫

We’re delighted to announce that Laylaa Davids (📲 laylaa davids ) has signed a contract extension with Holcombe Hockey Club. ✍️

After making such a strong impression during her first season with us, we’re thrilled that Laylaa will be continuing her time in Kent.

A dynamic and composed midfielder, Laylaa quickly established herself as a standout performer in the league last season. Her quality on the ball, intelligence, work rate, and ability to influence games from midfield made her a hugely important part of our side.

At just 23, Laylaa has already developed significant experience at senior international level for South Africa, and we’re excited to see how much further she can develop in a Holcombe shirt.

“I’m really excited to be continuing my journey with Holcombe. I loved my first season at the club and felt very welcomed by everyone from the moment I arrived. I’m looking forward to building on last season, continuing to develop and hopefully achieving something special together.” — Laylaa Davids

Most importantly, she’s already part of the Holcombe family — and we’re delighted she’s staying.

Delighted to have you with us, Laylaa! 🔴⚫ 🇿🇦

MUBASHAR ALI EXTENDS WITH HOLCOMBE 🔴⚫

We’re delighted to announce that Mubashar Ali (📲 Mubashar Ali ) has extended his contract with Holcombe Hockey Club.

A Pakistan international, Mubashar brings serious pedigree, pace, and power to our defensive unit. A world-class defender with an explosive engine and one of the most feared drag flicks in the game, he is a player who can change a match at both ends of the pitch.

“I’m really pleased to be extending my time with Holcombe. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time at the club and I’m looking forward to continuing to contribute to the team, building on what we’ve achieved and helping the club push for further success.” — Mubashar Ali

We’re thrilled to have Mubashar continuing his journey with Holcombe and look forward to seeing plenty more of his defensive dominance and those monster drag flicks in the seasons ahead.

Mubashar. Locked in. 🤝
