Biography

Versatile winger/defenceman Ciaran Long returns to the Belfast Giants' lineup for 2023/24; marking his fourth season with the men in teal.

32-year-old Long’s flexibility was demonstrated during the treble-winning 2022/23 season, collecting 9 goals and 14 assists, featuring in 46 games, as well as routinely dropping back to the blue line to play a defensive-first game based on the needs of the team and dealing with injuries on the roster. Long's reliability, and ability to excel in multiple positions have proven him to be an asset to the Giants' roster.

Since his arrival with the Giants in 2019/20 - Ciaran played for EIHL (Elite Ice Hockey League) side Manchester Storm for a season cut short by the pandemic in 2020/21 before returning to Belfast for what was set to be a very successful pair of seasons. He also represented Great Britain in the IIHF (International Ice Hockey Federation) World Championships in 2021/22.
