Detroit Fury News Release


AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -The Detroit Fury of the Arena Football League announced today they have signed their first free agent of the offseason, defensive specialist Reggie Doster. Doster is a two-year AFL veteran and comes to Detroit from the Orlando Predators.

The 27 year-old Doster is the first free agent to sign with the Fury since the Arena Football League's free-agent signing period began on Wednesday, October 15, and brings youth, talent and speed to the Fury's secondary. Doster, who played in all 16 games for Orlando last season, finished as the Predator's second leading tackler (80 tackles) and had one interception, and one safety.

"One of our main priorities this off season was to improve our defensive specialist position, particularly in the middle," said Fury Assistant Head Coach and Director of Player Personnel Tom Luginbill. "We wanted experience and consistent production, and Reggie Doster brings both of those qualities to Detroit."

Doster said he looks forward to playing in Detroit Fury purple and black next season.

"It is a great situation for me to be coming into," said Doster. "I wanted to come to a team where the coaching staff is doing everything it can to put together a winner, and I feel they (Al and Tom) have a lot of talent on the team already. I am looking forward to getting on the field, where I think I can make a difference defensively."

Doster was a four-year letterman at the University of Central Florida, and he started games at both safety and cornerback during his collegiate career. He also played for the Orlando Rage of the XFL.

The Fury return for their fourth season of Arena Football League action at The Palace of Auburn Hills this February. Season tickets for the Fury can be purchased by calling (248) 377-0100, and additional information can be found at www.detroitfury.com.
