Wildcats fans push for Finucci signing

Swindon Wildcats fans are sitting tight and awaiting news as to the future of Canadian import Carlo Finucci, with updates yet to emerge from the club's hierarchy.

Head coach Aaron Nell has already committed his future to the club in recent week's, along with a long term deal for Stevie Lyle and a contract extension for Swedish forward Jonas Hoog. 

But the future of Candian import Carlo Finucci is still unclear, with the Wildcats' number 40 yet to hold contract talks with the club.

The diminutive forward wowed Cats fans following his arrival with his high paced hockey and nimble stick work.

Brought in during the early months of the season under then head coach Stevie Lyle, to fill the void left by the departing Miroslav Zalesak, Finucci made the transition from Danish side Rungsted to the South of England. 

The Candian made an immediate impact in Wiltshire, going on a hot scoring streak and soon established himself as a fans' favourite.

Following last month's home clash against Milton Keynes Lightning Finucci commented upon his time in the red and white of the Wildcats.

"I've loved it here, the fans have been unbelievable. Management, everybody in ownership, the players, they're all great guys," Finucci said.

"Aaron's done a great job as a coach and I have loved my time here, it's been one of my most enjoyable hockey seasons so far and I'd love to come back.

"I think it's great that Aaron has signed, it was obviously a no-brainer that he was coming back, and Jonas signing a little earlier than he usually does. Those guys are a great combo so we're pretty set up so far for next year and we'll see what happens," he added.

Wildcats' fans have already begun making their voices heard on social media platform Twitter, using the coined hashag #SignFinucci to show their collective desire to keep the 29-year-old in SN5.
