Leeds Knights are delighted to confirm that Kieran Brown will be returning for the 2025–26 season, continuing his incredible journey as one of the most dominant forwards in the NIHL National League!


Brown was a standout performer during the 2024–25 campaign, finishing as Leeds Knights’ top points scorer and top goal scorer, cementing his status as one of the most electric talents in British ice hockey. His impact on the ice and leadership in the dressing room made him a key part of the Knights’ success last season.

Speaking about his return, Kieran Brown said:


“Leeds is home for me. I’m buzzing to be back with the Knights for another year. It couldn’t have been an easier decision to sign back, love the direction the league and Leeds are going, and of course, the best fans in the league!”


Head Coach Ryan Aldridge shared his thoughts on Brown’s re-signing:


“It’s great to have Kieran back, he is a massive part of this club and has lead the team to 5 trophies in 3 years. He loves being in Leeds and we love to have him here.”
