In August 2010, Bobby signed for Kydon Handball Club who compete in the Top Greek Handball League. With 3 new additions to the squad, the club are hoping to improve on last season by firstly securing their place in the A1 category for next season and then pushing for the play off places (Top 4).

October 2009 - All Change
After a promising start with Bregenz, some financial difficluties have meant that Bobby will be returning to Denmark to finish the 09/10 season. Having had a successful weeks trial at BSV, Bobby will join GB Team mates Ciaran Williams and Chris Mohr in the Danish 2nd division.

September 2009 - 'OctoberTest'
GB are due to face Luxembourg, Belgium and Bulgaria at our next training camp in October. This poses to be an interesting tournament for us as head coach Dragan Dukic has picked arguably our strongest squad and believes this is a tournament well within our capabilities of winning.

The camp will be good preparation and experience for our upcoming 2011 world championship qualifiers which take place in January 2010. We have been drawn against Finland, Bosnia and Romania which will be a very tough group to come out of but the matches will be invaluable experience for our young squad as the journey to London 2012 continues. 

July 2009 - On The Move
After impressing in a trial with A1 Bregenz in June, Bobby will be moving to the Austrian Champions on July 13th. Bregenz are a dominant force in the Austrian top flight and it is an opportunity Bobby is relishing to get stuck in to. “Joining a team of Bregenz calibre is one of the reasons I got into Handball. To have the opportunity to train and play with a team that compete in the EHF Champions League is amazing considering I have been involved in the sport for just over 18 months”. Bobby’s pre-season training starts on July 14th which should be good preparation for the next Great Britain training camp which is going to be held in France in August.
