Rangers verpflichten ehemaligen Cardinal Linebacker
Ein Transfercoup der besonderen Klasse gelang dem AFC Rangers in Mödling mit der Verpflichtung von US-Größe Clinton Snyder. Der ehemalige Stanford Cardinal war während seiner Collegezeit Kandidat auf die renommierten Butkus, Bednarik, Nagurski und Lombardi Auszeichnungen und galt als einer der besten Linebacker der USA.
2011 spielte Snyder noch bei Sacramento in der Profiliga UFL und wird 2013 im Dress des AFC Rangers in der AFL (Football Bundesliga) eine wichtige Rolle einnehmen. "Clinton wird uns in der Verteidigung unglaublich helfen. Seine Führungsqualitäten und seine Spielintelligenz werden sich sehr gut auf die gesamte Mannschaft auswirken. Mit ihm haben wir einen wichtigen Puzzlestein für ein erfolgreiches Team in der heurigen Saison gefunden." so AFC Rangers Headcoach Mathias Weinberger.
Snyder führte schon beim NCAA Division 1 College Stanford die Gruppe der Linebacker an und war führend in den Statistiken der meisten Tackles, Sacks und Fumbles. Sein damaliger Headcoach war kein geringerer als Jim Harbaugh, welcher heuer die San Francisco 49ers in die Superbowl geführt hatte.
Snyder wird in den kommenden Wochen intensive Vorbereitungen mit den Rangers beginnen. Gleich zu Saisonauftakt am 30. März startet der AFC Rangers mit seinem Heimspiel gegen den amtierenden Meister Raiffeisen Vikings in die Meisterschaft.
