Clan head coach Ryan Finnerty revealed that the deal had taken some time to complete and that he had spent time doubting whether or not the signing would go ahead.

“Corey’s name was high on our list early.  We even though at one point he was unattainable,” he said.

“We were able to persist with his agent which involved some long nights and lengthy phone calls and messages, but we eventually arrived at a deal and we’re delighted to have him.

“We’ve been looking for some size - a power forward kinda guy and plays a powerful game as he gets to the net.  

“He maybe hasn’t got the numbers he would like, but if you look at his output in the American league, he’s scored 15, 16 goals a season.

“We want to give him that opportunity. We like that he can play a power game and that he’s not afraid to get in the mix and play in the hard areas.

“We think if we can surround him with the type of players we want to, we’ll see that offence he had in the AHL and then some.”
