Telford Tigers are delighted to announce the return of import forward Eric Henderson for the 2025/26 season. The 27 year old Canadian made his debut for the club midway through last season and ended up voted as the club’s forward of the year at the end of season awards.
Henderson, will return as one of the four import players available to the club in the forthcoming season. Henderson scored a remarkable 94 points last season, despite playing only 48 games.
Eric commented on his signing for the club, “I’m delighted to be returning to Telford for the forthcoming season. I really enjoyed my time at the club last season and I am looking forward to coming back. The fans made me feel really welcome and I had my best season points wise so I want to continue that trend and make this a memorable season for everyone in Telford.”
Tom Watkins, Head Coach and General Manager, commented on the signing of Henderson.
“Eric is another player where we know exactly what we are getting. I really like Hendo’s (Henderson) game, he does all the little things at a high level, protects the puck very well, is good along the walls and can transport the puck through the zones with a low risk game and with plenty of reward. He’s one of those players who makes those around him better, he makes big plays and scores big goals.
He really carried the team at times last season, particularly after we lost Thomo (David Thomson) to injury, he got the team playing well and had some huge nights, that stretch in February where he seemed to score multiple points every night was huge for us. Having Eric return for a second season is a big piece of the jigsaw. We are delighted he agreed to return.”
