The Lions are pleased to announce the signing of forward Michael Jacobs.

Michael has played most of his hockey career at Romford and quit the sport when the Rom Valley Way rink closed.

However the Hornchurch-born forward is now returning to hockey with Lee Valley, where he played between 2005 and 2009 – scoring 24 goals in 48 games in a Lions jersey.

Michael is an out-and-out goal scorer and will give the new-look team a cutting edge.
