CLOUTMAN CONTINUES
The Solent Devils continue to develop their new competitive roster for the 2026/27 NIHL 1 season tonight with the announcement of their third player!
Joining Alex Murray and Cam Buckle, the Solent Devils are pleased to announce the return of British Defenceman Harry Cloutman!
Cloutman’s 2025/26 season saw him step into a key role as a shutdown defenceman as well as being a key contributer on special teams. Harry helped set up important goals which turned the tides of key games and finished the season in the top 10 for team point scoring and assists!
Cloutman will be joining the team for his 9th senior season in September and looks to continue improving the finer details within his game, something he explores in his re-signing interview.
Re-Signing Interview:
After signing, we sat down with Harry Cloutman to discuss the season ahead,
What are your thoughts on returning to the Solent Devils for the 2026/27 season?
This club means a lot to me, and I’ve always appreciated the support from the fans, teammates, and everyone involved. It is always a pleasure to come back, this season I will continue to contribute on and off the ice, and do my best to help push the team forwards.
Last season was a challenging one, at the Solent Devils presentation evening, you were awarded Defenceman of the Year, what does it mean to you to receive this award under these circumstances and what did you learn from last season, that you plan to take with you going forward?
Winning Defenceman of the Year last season meant a lot to me, especially during a season that was challenging for the group at times. It’s always an honour to be recognised by the club, and I’m really grateful to my teammates, coaches, and everyone involved with the Devils for the support throughout the year.
Recent seasons have seen your development as a player come leaps and bounds, from running special teams, coaching and now being a young leader on the team. What are you enjoying most about being in the Solent Devils system and what are you looking to develop this season?
It’s great to be apart of the devils system, with a great group of people around the team always willing us forwards to be the best team we can be.
While continuing to improve the finer details of my game, I want to keep contributing in all situations, help drive standards within the group, and continue learning both on and off the ice so I can have the biggest impact possible for the team.
Finally, What is your message to the Solent Devils fans?
I just cannot wait to see you all back at the Thunderdome for the coming Season!
Harry Cloutman will continue to wear #18 for the Solent Devils.
Keep In The Loop!
