Shane Johnson was a big favourite with Giants' fans
|
Defenceman Shane Johnson has re-signed for the Belfast Giants and will be in the squad to face Basingstoke Bison at the Odyssey on Thursday (1930 BST).
Johnson is a former captain of the Giants and won two league titles and one play-off in the team's colours.
"We tried to sign Shane twice already this season when defencemen went down with injury," said coach Ed Courtenay.
"Now his temporary deal at Cardiff is up, I jumped at the chance to sign him and I know he'll make a huge impact."
"I am happy to have him back on board and he will come in right away and strengthen our defence," added the Giants' coach.
Last season, Johnson played for the Sheffield Steelers and this year he has played a handful of games with Sheffield and Cardiff on a temporary basis.
