Telford Tigers sign defensive duo Jordan Stokes and Dale White

Stokes joins on a two-way deal with Coventry Blaze, where he iced four times in the Elite League last season in addition to racking up 51 games with the Hull Pirates in the EPL.

Tigers coach and general manager Tom Watkins sees a lot of potential in the 18-year-old, having known from the GB junior teams.

Watkins said: I think with Jordan we have a very dedicated and focused young man. He will be on a two-way with Coventry Blaze, which brings the benefit of being on the ice every day in their professional environment, while also playing with the Tigers.

White, 27, returns for his third spell with the Tigers having played 54 games for Tigers in the 2014/15 EPL season and 6 games for the Tigers NIHL side last term.
