Braehead Clan forward Scott Pitt revealed one the main reasons why he’s decided to return for a third season – the Purple Army.

The Canadian confirmed he was coming back to the club last week as he looks to build on his impressive points record.

But he paid tribute to the loyal band of Clan fans who he says have made his time in Glasgow that bit more enjoyable.

He said: “One of the biggest reasons I’ve come back in the fans. I’ve been in a lot of places, but Braehead’s definitely the best and the Purple Army make it incredible night in night out.

“It’s certainly enjoyable to play for them and overall, it feels great to be back. I was very excited when the team and organisation wanted me to come back.

“I’ve had nothing but good times in the last two years so I’m looking forward to returning. The city of Glasgow is great and the organisation from top to bottom have been good to me and my girlfriend, Lauren.”

And Pitt revealed it was an easy decision to come back, especially knowing that head coach Ryan Finnerty was keen for him to stay on a third season.

But he says as long as he’s picking up a point in every game, he’ll hit his target that he admits to setting himself before every match.

Pitt added: “It was an easy decision and I told Ryan I wanted to come back so I was pleased we got it sorted out.

“The coach has had a lot of kind words to say about me and it makes me feel wanted when I’m coming back for another campaign.

“I like to be the sort of player that contributes as much as possible. I like to put up points and be defensively responsible so I tend to aim for a point a game then it feels like I’m helping the team.”
