HIGHLY-rated Troon teenager Jordan Buesa has signed up for a second season at Elite Ice Hockey League club Braehead Clan.

Clan are delighted to announce the re-signing of Scottish forward Buesa and the arrival of defenceman Josh Grieveson, who joins from Dundee Stars.

Both players will be part of the club's development apprentice scheme and also join Zach Sullivan in the Clan's under 23 roster allocation ahead of the 2017/18 season.

Buesa (17) first joined the club last summer as Braehead Clan's first ever apprentice and his hard work and effort soon made him popular with the Purple Army.

He signed for NIHL North side Solway Sharks in a two-way contract and won the league and the play-offs with Martin Grubb's side.

Buesa was delighted to seal his return to the Clan for a second season, where he revealed he's hoping to progress his development.

"I've loved my first year at Braehead and I learned a lot from the guys there, who gave me huge support and I wouldn't be where I am now without them," he said.

"My game overall has improved such as having the speed to keep up with them, thinking and reacting quicker and that's definitely helped.

"Thinking about next year, my approach will be much the same as my first year, which is work hard, learn from new guys and really push on in my development.

Clan are also pleased to welcome the addition of 20-year-old defenceman Grieveson.

Grieveson played an important part in Marc LeFebvre's team last season, as they reached the play-off finals weekend in Nottingham at Braehead's expense in the quarter finals.

He made 63 appearances for the Stars and has also won a gold medal in 2015 as part of the Great Britain Under-20's team.

Grieveson says Clan's commitment to helping develop young, talented British players was an attraction for him.

"When I spoke to the club, the decision to come to Braehead was pretty much a no-brainer for me," Grieveson said.

"They're keen to invest in young Brits, which is great to see and it comes across as a great set-up and a good organisation to play for.

"It was attractive to me and drew me in. The progress of players like Zach Sullivan and Jordan Buesa says a lot about what the club does for young Brits."

Clan Hockey & Operations Director Gareth Chalmers commented: "We're delighted that both Jordan and Josh have committed to the club for this upcoming season.

"Both are joining us as part of our apprenticeship scheme, will train with the Clan during the week and split their game time between the Clan and the Solway Sharks in the NIHL"
