The Bespoke Guardians Swindon Wildcats are delighted to confirm that Reece Kelly has signed a one-year contract with the Wildcats ahead of the 23/24 Planet Ice National Ice Hockey League season, which gets underway in September.
Reece, the second new face to the roster following the earlier summer move of Glenn Billing, is a 22 year old defenceman who last year iced for the Bristol Pitbulls and the Cardiff Devils.
Before moving to Bristol, Reece spent a few years abroad playing in the junior leagues in Canada, USA, Norway and most recently Finland.
Last season he made a name for himself as a big strong D man who posted 30 points in 51 league games.
Head Coach Aaron Nell said:
Bringing Reece to Swindon is another massive signing for us. We knew we needed to improve our D core this year and bringing Reece in really does that. He’s a big strong d-man that has really good offensive instincts, he will help us on our transition and moves the puck really well.
Reece is still young and has a lot to learn, if he puts everything together he has potential to be a very good d-man in our league!
