Bracknell Bees have added forward Rio Grinell-Parke to their roster for the 2016/17 EPL season.

The 17-year-old previously iced for Bracknell at U16 and U18 level, before enjoying his breakout senior year with London Raiders in NIHL1 South last term.

In 42 games Grinell-Parke scored 15 goals with 15 assists to earn himself a spot with the Bees next season.

Bees’s boss Lukas Smital said: “Rio is a young and talented forward with a good eye for goal and his impressive development continue last season with the London Raiders in the NIHL.

“We will be looking to help him develop his game further with the Bees and he is no stranger to The Hive having been with the BIHC for two seasons as well as representing South West and South East at the Nationals alongside other BIHC players, some of whom are now with the Bees.”
