BARROW RAIDERS Chairman Steve Neale and coach Paul Crarey have been warmly praised by departing star Hakim Miloudi.
The versatile France international back arrived at the Cumbrian club part way through last season, after having been at Palau Broncos. He made eight appearances with two tries as Crarey's charges won promotion as League One champions. Miloudi played 21 times this year, scoring ten tries, as Barrow made the play-offs, an achievement that helped Crarey win the Championship Coach of the Year award (the Raiders were crowned divisional club of the year).
