Nottingham have re-signed veteran Welsh forward, and former Steeler, Matthew Myers. The 37 year old stands 6”2” and uses that to his advantage, also very strong on face-offs.

This will be his 11th season in Nottingham, and 19th EIHL campaign overall. He’s iced a massive 1,062 times at EIHL level for Cardiff, us & Nottingham and has won all 3 available trophies and has won more EIHL trophies than any other player.

He iced all 7 GB games this spring.

His only time outside the UK was in 09/10 in the ECHL with the Bakersfield Condors & Johnstown Chiefs.
