HAVING already announced his intention to retire at the end of the 2023-24 NIHL National season, James Archer is determined to do so with a third play-off title to his name.
Previously a winner in Coventry play-off finals with Manchester Phoenix and Hull Pirates - neither club still with us - the veteran forward firmly believes Leeds Knights are the team who can help him achieve his career-closing ambition. Less than 12 months ago, to be in such a position did not even seem a remote possibility for the 35-year-old.
Morale is understandably high after winning the league and we had a good run in the play-off group phase - that is what you need going into a weekend like this.” For Archer, seeing out his career in West Yorkshire completes something of a circle for him, one that started back in the summer of 2019 when he signed for the newly-formed Leeds Chiefs.
