Galbraith scored 23 goals for the Panthers last season

Nottingham Panthers have re-signed forward Jade Galbraith for a second season at the National Ice Centre.

Galbraith scored 75 points in 59 games last year, including 23 goals, and finished as the club's second leading points scorer behind Brendan Cook.

Coach Corey Neilson told BBC Radio Nottingham: "You need guys who know what the league is all about.

"He wants to contribute to a championship and a league title and we're excited about having him."

Galbraith was criticised at times last season for a lack of fitness.

Neilson added: "Just look at his numbers - he himself would say he only played well for us for about half a year, and he ended up a point off our leading scorer.

"He's a dynamite player and is all I said he was when he came into our team last year.

"We didn't get the consistent effort out of him but he's guaranteed me he's coming back in shape.

"He's coming in to play and we're thrilled to have him back."
