Bailey Perre Returns to Leeds Knights for 2025-26 Season


The Leeds Knights are delighted to announce that defenceman Bailey Perre will be returning to the team for the 2025-26 NIHL National League season.


Bailey was an integral part of the Knights' success during the 2024-25 campaign, helping the team to secure their third consecutive NIHL National League title and playing a key role in the club’s historic first-ever NIHL National Cup victory!


Known for his work ethic, tenacity, and ability to make an impact all over the ice, Bailey has become a firm fan favourite in Leeds and is hungry for more silverware heading into his next season with the Knights.


Speaking about his return, Bailey Perre said: “Coming back next year, I aim to continue my development. I think, with the four imports, the league will be even better next season, and the aim is to follow on from the success we've had over the past three years.”


Leeds Knights Head Coach Ryan Aldridge added: “Bailey came a long way last year and ended up playing big minutes in big situations for us.  A big personality within the group and is always team first. Glad to have him back and look forward to watching him grow as a player again this year”


With Bailey back in the fold, the Knights continue to build a competitive roster aimed at defending their league crown and pushing for even more success in 2025-26.
