Glasgow Clan Chief Operating Officer Gareth Chalmers has revealed the club have signed a defenceman, who should be ready to play in tomorrow's clash with Manchester Storm.
Following the season ending injury to Jordan Heywood, the side have been in the market for a new defenceman and Chalmers has confirmed they have secured the signature of one, although he is yet to reveal who exactly it is.
The testimionial this week for Matt Haywood has delayed the announcement somewhat but Chalmers has revealed a contract has been signed, work permit issued and a defenceman is due to arrive in Glasgow. And pending clearance from the IIHF, he should be in the line-up for Saturday’s game.
Tommorow's visit of Manchester to Braehead Arena is a vital one for the Clan, with Zack Fitzgerald's men sitting in seventh place in the EIHL, one spot ahead of Manchester.
However, Fitzgerald will be in confident mood as his side have won all three games against Manchester so far this season, the most recent a tight 6-5 victory in Manchester in December.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
