Clayton confirmed

Posted on by

We’re delighted to welcome forward Daniel Clayton!

Daniel started this season at the Invicta Mustangs but moves across to the Lions to strengthen our forward group.

He is no stranger to NIHL2 fans after spells at Invicta, Haringey, Bracknell and Streatham.

In three NIHL2 seasons with Streatham between 2021 and 2024, Daniel scored a total of 123 points in just 56 games, and captained the Blackhawks last season.

He also spent several seasons with the Streatham Redhawks in NIHL1.

Welcome to the Lions, Daniel!
