Paul Murgatroyd, Head Coach for Talent, said

'I would like to congratulate all those who have been selected for the Talent squad, whether as debutants or 'veterans' returning for another season! This is as a result of their dedication and enthusiasm for the sport and the performance team look forward to working with the athletes in 2019. Last season saw some great achievements by this group, with two medals at EYOC and JWOC and a host of other top 20 performances. We hope that this will inspire this new squad to build on these foundations in 2019 and deliver some excellent results again in Belarus, Denmark and France."
