AARON FOX hailed the return of netminder Matt Greenfield for a third season with Sheffield Steelers as ‘one of the most important’ pieces of business he will do all summer.
But the deal to bring the 2023-24 Elite League MVP was far from straightforward, with the 29-year-old keen to explore his options having back-stopped the Steelers to the treble last season. Opportunities did present themselves elsewhere for the American but, in the end, he decided he wanted to stay with his South Yorkshire “family” for a third year.
“With other options out there for him, Greener decided he wanted to run it back which also had a play in a couple of other players who weren’t signed yet to also decide to run it back. “But I couldn’t be happier to have him back here.” While tempted to move on, Greenfield said he was ultimately persuaded to remain in Sheffield once he knew the core of last season’s roster was also sticking around. “There were some interesting opportunities,” said the former Kansas City Mavericks stopper.
