LEFEBVRE ON ROBERT
After bringing Alex to Dundee, Stars Head Coach, Marc LeFebvre said: “he is good depth player, who can play at center or on the wing and things did not work out for him in Manchester but that is how things go in pro sports.
“I called him Thursday to see if he would be available as we picked up another knock this week but he will give us a lot of depth when we get our bodies back and he is a guy, who is just thrilled to be here and can add some more skill to our bottom six.”
ALEX ON THE MOVE
Speaking after his first game for the club, Alex said: “I could not be more excited, once I was out of Manchester I had heard rumours of going to Dundee and I spoke to so many people about Dundee and all I heard was positive things and I could not have been treated better since I arrived, so I cannot wait to get going.”
Robert will wear #21 for the Stars this season.
