Belfast-born Giants legend Mark 'MoTrain' Morrison is on his way back to the line-up, and is set to make his Odyssey Arena return against the Edinburgh Capitals on Friday night.

Doug Christiansen's side have had something of an injury plagued start to the season, having played only two games of their campaign with a full complement of players.

The situation has prompted the head coach to enlist the services of 29-year-old fan favourite Morrison, to provide more depth to the team at a challenging point in the season.

Mo is a legend here in Belfast and I have no doubt that he will do whatever it takes to help the team win.

During his seven-season professional career, the MoTrain has featured in 343 games, racking up 24 goals and 34 assists along the way.

He's known for his passion and determination, which Christiansen believes will help the short-staffed team.

"Last weekend against Dundee we were really up against it, having to play with a short bench - bringing back Mark Morrison will give us more options," he said.

"Mark hasn't played professionally since winning the Playoff Championship in 2010, but he's been training with the guys a few days this week and is excited about getting back on the ice in front of the Odyssey faithful."
