SIGNING: Solway’s Shevlin signs on two-way deal for Clan

The Glasgow Clan are delighted to announce the signing of Scottish defenceman Kian Shevlin on a two-way deal from the Solway Sharks.

The 18-year-old has spent the last two seasons playing not only with the Sharks, but also with SNL side Edinburgh Capitals, with whom he won the play-offs last season.

He played 24 times in the NIHL National League for the Dumfries side, while also featuring 22 times for the Caps, scoring a total of four goals and seven assists across both leagues.

The six-foot-six blueliner started out as a product of the Kirkcaldy youth system and will make the next step in his promising career with the Clan.

Clan Head Coach and Head of Hockey Operations Corey Neilson was pleased to bring the Fife-born prospect on board.

“Kian joins the raft of young, exciting prospects we’ll be working with through the course of the year and I’m pleased to get the chance to work with him,” he said.

“His size makes a big presence that’s something you can’t teach. I wish I would have got hold of Josh Tetlow at Kian’s age and he’s now a GB international.

“We’ll certainly aim to help him improve as he gets the chance to work with the experienced players we have here.

“I want to thank Martin Grubb and the team at Solway for their support and assistance in getting this deal done.”

Shevlin will wear the #53 jersey for the Clan in the new season.
