Former Whanganui trainer Stephen Crutchley has been granted a professional licence to train in Singapore.
Crutchley moved to Singapore in 2014 where he became a B trainer for Mark Walker and the successful Te Akau operation.
After a year with Walker, Crutchley moved to John O'Hara's Singapore yard filling a similar role.
However, on Tuesday the Malayan Racing Association granted Crutchley a full A licence and he is now going through the process of securing stabling at Kranji racecourse to begin producing winners under his own name.
