German rider Christian Hefenbrock has landed a loan move from Wolverhampton to Elite League rivals Arena Essex. Hefenbrock has been squeezed out of this season's plans at Wolves because of the Elite League points limit.
"It was one of those agonising decisions you have to make - Christian did so well for us," said Wolverhampton promoter Chris Van Straaten.
"He was a pleasure to deal with. We wish him well and I'm sure we haven't seen the last of him in our colours."
