Basingstoke Bison have completed their roster for the forthcoming defence of their EPL title with the re-signing of British netminder Dan Weller-Evans.

The 22-year-old returns for a third season with the club and will once again fill the important role of back-up goalie to import Tomas Hiadlovsky.

Bison boss Doug Sheppard said: “Dan is getting better every year and gets along really well with Tomas.

“He knows what his job is on the team and it’s a difficult one, but I’m really pleased to have him back for another season.”

Weller-Evans added: “I’m pleased to be back. I’ve been a back-up for a few years now, so I have a routine for game days and I’m always ready to play.

“It was great to play a part in a league winning team last season and we look just as strong this time around.”
