He says he has enjoyed his first campaign in European hockey and the team had been proud to finish third in the League, after overcoming a host of injuries.

Neiley, who scored two important points in the quarter final second leg against Guildford Flames, said he'd like to return to Sheffield, adding: "The fans have been great to me."

In the last four games, the 26-year-old American has scored six goals and two assists.
