Keyes commented on his signing for the club, saying: “I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be signing back with the Telford Tigers for my seventh season!

“It’s been an incredible journey so far, filled with unforgettable moments both on and off the ice.

“I can’t wait to hit the rink with the team again and give it my all this season.

“A huge thank you to the fans for your endless support – let’s make this season the best one yet!”
