Invicta Dynamos forward Laurence Billing has committed himself to the club for next season.
Billing rejoined the Dynamos last season, after two years out of the sport, and became increasingly influential as the season progressed.
A statement on the club's website said: "Laurence brings some valuable pace and skill to our attack.
"Not only does he have the speed to worry the opposition’s defence but he has the hands to go with it as his performances, especially towards the business end of last season, demonstrated.
"After spending a prolonged period away from hockey, it was always going to take time for him to readjust. But he excelled after the Christmas break scoring some important goals, including a fine effort in the national final victory against the Sheffield ENL Scimitars in Coventry.
"Now we are confident Billing will continue to improve making him a valuable asset for the season ahead. He had a very good points-to-ice time ratio last campaign putting him amongst the best in the team and with his skill and work rate he will hopefully go on to score more vital goals as we defend our league championship."
