The 21-year-old Goodison was part of the 2015-16 EPL Championship -winning team and also the NIHL North Play-off winning team from last year.

Goodison scored 13 goals and totalled 28 points for the season, his highest tally in the NIHL.

General manager and head coach Tom Watkins said: “I am very pleased to have Corey back on board.

“He has developed into a very important member of the team. He is a great example to any young player who wants to play.

“He set his sights on cracking the line-up three years ago and his determination to achieve that has been fun to watch.

“He is now one of our top ‘D’ men. He skates well, is very quick off the mark, battles well and has a heavy shot. He is an important member of the team and plays on both the power play and penalty kill.”

Goodison added: “I am delighted to be returning for my fourth season with the Tigers and I can’t wait to see what the season brings, hopefully we can win some silverware.”

It’s expected Tigers will announce further additions to their squad this week and that the fixtures will also be revealed shortly.
