Blizzard taking the league by storm with ten new signings
Blizzard Storm are aiming to take Division One by storm next season having announced ten new signings ahead of the big kick-off to the new season.
The team have been promoted to the second flight of Jewish football, and as such, manager Simon Linden has confirmed 10 new signings have been made over the summer. Premier Division players Oli Henry and Ben Ellis top the new names, while former SPEC and Southgate Harmen players Bradley Cohen and Mitch Green have also been signed up.
Conor Brand, Ben Greenbury, Josh McManus, Rafi Maron, Aaron Salaman and Robbie Berwald have also all put pen to paper, with Linden saying: “This is a great opportunity for Blizzard. We wanted to take advantage of a late promotion and put together a team that can achieve. This league will be very competitive with a lot of good sides, but with the character and ability in our group we have the confidence that we can match any side. We have signed some good quality players, plus kept our existing core making up a healthy squad.”
Another major signing made by the club came with the announcement of a new sponsorship and training partnership with one of London’s leading fitness companies, ‘Ready Steady Fit’.
Linden added: “I’m thrilled to have ready steady fit on board, they are a great company to have sponsoring the side and the pre season fitness training has been extremely good. I would highly recommend http//readysteadyfit.com as it’s done wonders for my squad.”
The new-look side have lined up friendlies against Spec, FC Team and L’equipe, ahead of the start of the season on 7 September.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
