Cardiff Devils have signed Swedish defenceman Jonas Emmerdahl following an injury to Evan Mosey.

Former Great Britain international Mosey, 37, suffered damage to his knee during the Challenge Cup win over Nottingham Panthers and is expected to be out until the end of the year.

Devils are also still waiting on the return of another defenceman, Tyson Helgesen, who had surgery in April and is expected to resume playing in late October.

Emmerdahl, 34, joins Devils from Fife Flyers where he has played for five of the past six seasons.

The 6ft 4in (1.95m) Swede is expected to make his debut in Cardiff's opening Elite League fixture against Manchester Storm at the Vindico Arena on Saturday, 3 October (19:00 BST).
