Reflecting on his four years with the Eastern Lions, Baptiste said, "I enjoyed my time with the club. We won a number of trophies together and grew a lot as a team but unfortunately there is a time when one has to move on. "I also won some individual awards which I have to thank my former team-mates for because we did everything as a team and without their support on and off the field I don't think it would have been possible." With respect to his former club Baptiste said, "I wish them the best of luck for the rest of the season while at the same time I will continue to work hard to attain my goals."
