Tonight’s One to Watch is Welsh born forward Adam Harding, he came up through the Cardiff Devils junior system before moving to Swindon and then finishing his development in North America, he played for 3 seasons in Canada and the US before returning to the UK to make his senior debut with the Devils in the Elite League.
During his first season Harding split his time between the Elite League Devils and the ENL Devils, with the top team in Cardiff he scored 8 points in 26 games and with the ENL side he managed 31 points in 22 games. This form meant he had the opportunity to play full time with the Elite Devils in the 2012-13 season and he returned 9 points this time.
In 2013 Harding joined our very own Wildcats and split his time on a two-way with Cardiff still. He had a good year in Swindon and returned for the next two years in the EPL with the Wildcats. In his first spell with Swindon Harding scored 85 points in 147 games across 3 years.
This play earned him another contract in the Elite League, this time with the Manchester Storm and after one season in the north west of England he then moved on to Dundee, also in the Elite. However, with the high levels of imports in the Elite Harding found his opportunities limited and in 2018 he re-joined Swindon who were then playing in NIHL1.
During this spell with the Wildcats he was performing well and scoring at a point per game, but with the decision to bring back Jonas Hoog, budgetary constraints meant Harding had to be let go and he was then quickly snapped up by the Bison.
To this day he remains with the Bison and in his 3 years with them he has played 82 games and scored 104 points including 37 goals.
