Solent Secure Sutton
Today the Solent Devils are delighted to announce the signing of British forward Ryan Sutton from the Basingstoke Bison for the remainder of the 2022-23 season.
The 27-year-old forward, who has played over 150 games at EPL and NIHL level mentioned his joy at joining the Devils
I’m excited to get going again after a short break from hockey. Signing with the Devils is a great opportunity for me, and I am looking forward to getting started with the guys!
Sutton was released from the Bison earlier in December following a request, and whilst there were several suitors, the Basingstoke born forward said Solent was the place to be.
After speaking with Alex, I knew that Solent was the right place to be for where I am at with my personal life and playing career. Also after speaking to some of the current players, I’ve heard nothing but great things about the room and the team.
My goals for the rest of the season would be to win some silverware and I will give 100% to help the team achieve this.
Commenting on the signing Head Coach, Alex Murray spoke of the importance at this time of year
We are really pleased to secure Ryan for the remainder of the season! Sutts is a player I have admired for a several years and like most players, it takes me 4-5 years to convince them that Solent is a good club to play for! Ryan will add experience and scoring to our forward unit at a time when the schedule begins to get busy. I’m excited to see how he fits into our squad
Ryan will wear #61 and is actively looking for a sponsor. If you are interested in owning and loaning Ryan’s home and away jersey, please contact Kerry at devilssupporters@outlook.com
Lastly, the Devils would like to announce that the club has accepted a request from Jack Peacock to leave the club due to personal reasons.
The club would like to thank Jack for his service and wish him well for the future.
