\u201cWe\u2019re really pleased to have welcomed Gurpreet to the Tigers,\u201d Fisher said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe brought a lot of energy to our first pre-season session, so he\u2019s already looking like being a positive addition to the group.\u201d<\/p>\n

Singh, who has recently moved to the region from Melbourne, said he was glad to have found a new cricketing home.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m happy to be playing at a good club and looking forward to this new challenge,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think if we have everyone together and playing their role in the team, we can enjoy some success this summer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Singh joins returning former Torquay juniors Tyson Windus (Geelong) and Chad Grossman (East Belmont) as additions to the Tigers\u2019 playing list for the 2021-22 season.<\/p>\n
