Its been confirmed! Former NTU captain - Daniel Potato Thiam will be rejoining NTU Rugby this coming season.

An official press statement was made by NTU Rugby this evening citing that after several meetings with Thiam and his agent, the board and Thiam were finally able to come to a mutual agreement. Thiam has agreed to personal terms of the contract and has already passed the medical examination.

Currently preparing for the upcoming 7s tournament in the South East Asian Games, Thiam will only be available to finalise all proceedings in mid december.

When interviewed over a tele-conference, Thiam expresses his joy of rejoining the warriors and relishes the chance of capturing the elusive Tri-University Gold. "Certainly its great news for me, the team as well as our fans. I believed I'm stronger, fitter and faster than before! Together with our new signings like Rebel Rong and Sidney, I strongly believe we can do it this time!"

Current team members were also delighted with the news. Bryanboy Yik was first to contact the media to welcome Potato Thiam back onto the squad. "With Thiam back, and together with Tze, the team is gonna be damn awesome la! Both of them are always welcomed to bathe and sleep in my room!"

Potato Thiam will officially rejoin NTU on 2 January 2008 on a 1-year loan.
