CAMBRIDGE,UK – Telford Tigers have signed former Sheffield Steelers netminder Brad Day for the 2019/20 NIHL National Division season.
The 24-year-old shot-stopper has previously played all bar 11 games of his career in a Sheffield uniform, 10 of those games coming last season on loan to Hull Pirates.
Day said: “My opportunities have been limited playing at the Steelers over the past few seasons and I’m ready to be the starting netminder.
“As soon as I started chatting to Tom Watkins, I knew that Tigers would be a great challenge for me and allow me to realise my ambition of starting as number one and progressing my career.
“The whole deal was done really quickly and I’m really happy and excited to get going for the new season and push Telford forward towards silverware in the newly formed NIHL National League.”
Tom Watkins, Tigers’ Head Coach and GM, added: “This is a great signing for us. I’ve known Brad for a long time – he’s a great kid and talented goalie.
“Everyone in Sheffield speaks very highly about him. Brad will give us a good chance to win every night, which will give a lot of confidence and belief to the team in front of him. This is a key signing for us.”
The addition of Day to the squad does cast doubt on the return of Tigers fan favourite Sam Gospel, who returned to the club part way through last season after starting the term with Nottingham Panthers.
