Solent Devils 2024/25 Signing Alert – Cain Russell

SOLENT LOCK IN RUSSELL

As September and the 2024-2025 season approaches, the Solent Devils continue to add to their new roster.

Today, the Solent Devils would like to announce the return of British forward and fan favourite Cain Russell!

Russell returns to the club for his second year after a playoff performance which saw him pick up 2 goals against the Streatham Redhawks which helped allow the Devils to advance to the playoff final.

Cain’s regular season last season consisted of 23 games. During those games he picked up a total of 21 points. Cain was also a key playoff performer for the team finishing with 2 points across his 3 games played.

Russell had this to say about why he chose to return to Solent,

It feels good I’m excited to be back here. There was two main factors for me one being the reason I came here originally it works with all goings on in my personal life and the second factor is a joint thing between the boys in the room and the fans in the stands both made me feel welcome last season and I feel I had a lot of fun with everyone.

Reflecting on the end of last season, Cain said the following,

It was a real shame about the final, but I’m looking to jump straight back into the season with the boys and maintain that form and level of hockey we showcased in the semi final.

Solent Devil’s Head Coach Alex Murray had this to say about his latest 2024-2025 addition,

I’m delighted to have retained Cain for next season. He was highly sought after this summer, as most of our team always is, but I’m really pleased with Cain’s loyalty and commitment to the club where it all started for him.

Reflecting on his performance last season, Murray went on to say,

Cain had an up and down season last year which was plagued by injury but his quality shown through in the finals weekend and I will be expected the see that again this season as he takes on more responsibility offensively

Cain will continue to wear the #96 jersey for the club.
