Michael ‘MD’ Timms, one of the most popular Romford Raiders of recent times, has signed up for his third season in the Gold and Blue.

Timmsy, still one of the best skaters and stick handlers on the roster, was very happy to rejoin the Raiders’ organisation and Coach Hammill was equally happy to get him back on board for the new campaign.

Euan King joins the Raiders from treble-winning Peterborough Phantoms.
