ELITE League stalwart Jason Stone has agreed to join Swindon Wildcats for the 2010/11 campaign.

The Cardiff Devils defenceman has won multiple championships with the Welsh side in 21 seasons with his hometown club, after making his senior debut aged just 15.

"Jason is a solid stay-at-home D-man", said Wildcats' head coach Ryan Aldridge.

"He has played at the highest level in this country for a long time, showing what a capable and committed team guy he is.

"In joining us here at the Wildcats, he adds even more experience to our defensive core."
