Janjigian's Take
“I’m really excited to be part of Hartford Athletic this season. The energy at training has been so high and I'm itching to get the season started. It's no secret the club had a great season last year and I'm going to do everything I can to take us to the next level.”
Coach's Corner
"As a left footed, left sided center back, Thomas gives us a real balance and a calmness at the back. He has a great understanding and reading of the game, he sees the game a lot quicker than others. He brings quality technical ability to play forwards and set up attacks. Thomas is a fantastic defender and a leader and we're lucky to have him." – Coach Watling
