“The Cap’tain” Ali Carter, winner of 4 ranking events and twice a Crucible finalist, has joined the Grove.

About his move to Grove, Ali said:

I’m delighted to sign a full management contract with Django Fung owner of grove leisure. We have been friends for many years and it particular when I went through my toughest ever battle with cancer. We have lots in common and in turn we spoke and both agreed we could both as value to each other if we teamed up.

I’m excited about our future partnership and together I’m sure we can take my career to the next level. I feel reinvigorated and it’s just the change I need.

Django Fung added:

know Ali for many year, he is from Essex and he used to come down to my club in Romford to play. We always get on well and its because of Ali that I have taken up flying. He introduced me to learn from a very good flying school.

We got on so well and its logical that i should manage Ali. We are delighted to have Ali in our academy. Ali is a successful top 16 player, a tournament winner, his experience and presence will be very valuable to Grove and specially to our younger players.

Personally, I’m thrilled to be part of Ali successful career and looking forward to be working with Ali and helping him to achieve whatever he wants to achieve.

Welcome Ali!
