In continental-style timing, Holcombe Hockey Club have confirmed the signings of Ellis Robson and Tom Moorhouse for the 2025/26 season.
Robson, an England international and Hockey Writers’ Club junior winner in 2018, is currently part of the Great Britain Elite Development Programme (EDP) alongside Moorhouse.
The former made his England debut last month in the FIH Pro League, winning four caps against India and Spain.
At 21, he has also represented his country in a number of junior tournaments, most recently the 2023 Sultan of Johor Cup and is also captain of Loughborough Students, who currently sit top of Division One North, a point clear of Brooklands with two matches to play, meaning the pair could soon both be part of a Premier Division promotion-winning squad.

Moorhouse also competed in the 2023 Sultan of Johor Cup and, last summer, was selected for England u21s’ EuroHockey Championship campaign, helping England to a fifth-placed finish in Terrassa, Spain.
Both Robson and Moorhouse have also competed in three separate Super 6s Division One campaigns during their time at Loughborough.
Head coach and director of hockey Kwan Browne said: “Ellis isn’t just any young talent; he’s a hard-working and skilled athlete who has shown immense promise.
“It’s undeniable that he has the potential to make a significant impact.
“Tom will bring a fresh energy to the team and inspire his teammates with his energy and ability.
“I am confident that Tom will make a significant impact both on and off the field.”
