McKinney returned to Telford last season after spending the previous four seasons with Guilford Flames. McKinney contributed 92 points in all competitions last year, including a career high 34 goals.

He said: “It was an easy decision to return to the Tigers for the forthcoming season. I am looking forward to the new league structure and think the step up in level will be good for this team. I am confident that Tom will put together a competitive roster and the Tigers’ fans will see a team competing for silverware.”

Head coach and general manager Tom Watkins said: “Andy was one of the first names on the list of players that I wanted to return from last season. He brings a unique skillset to the team, he scores goals, can play on all special teams and brings grit to the line up.

“He will stick up for his team-mates and is someone who competes on every shift. He will be a big asset to this group.”
