The Devils have confirmed the return of three more of their British players ahead of the 2025-26 season.
Mark Richardson returns for an 18th season with the club after captaining the Devils to a Continental Cup championship last season. The defensive standout enters the season in second place on the Elite League’s all-time games played leaderboard behind Jonathan Phillips, a record he should break in 2025-26. Last season, he played his 1,000th game for the Cardiff Devils, and helped lead Team GB to Gold at the World Championships in early May.

Ben Davies is back for his 12th season as a Devil and his 18th in the Elite League. Last season he scored 6 goals and 6 assists in 52 games played in all EIHL competitions. He missed 19 games with a broken arm but returned for the last few weeks of the season and the playoffs. He is one of the league’s best penalty killers and a big reason why the Devils had the top PK in the EIHL last season. Davies also played a key role for Team GB’s Gold medal performance in May.
