Josh MacDonald has re-signed for Cardiff Devils for the 2025-26 season.

The Canadian, 31, becomes the first player to recommit for next season having led Devils in scoring in 2024-25, when he claimed 28 goals and 29 assists for 57 points in 51 league games.

MacDonald was voted into the season's First Team EIHL All-Star team as well as being named top forward in the IIHF Continental Cup, which Devils won.

"Josh is a high-impact player in this league and had an excellent first season in Cardiff," said Devils managing director Todd Kelman.

"He skates so well and has a rocket of a shot, which makes him an offensive threat every time he is on the ice. We are ecstatic to have him back for another season."

MacDonald joined Cardiff in 2024 after spells in Germany with Ravensburg and Krefeld.
