CZECH defenceman Jan Melichar has committed to a fourth straight season with Swindon Wildcats.

The 35-year-old has been a mainstay on the Wildcats blue-line since joining the Link Centre club ahead of the 2010/11 campaign.

Melichar has scored 64 points during the last three seasons.

In 2013/14, he will combine turning out in the EPL with coaching duties in the Wildcats academy.

Meanwhile, defenceman Shane Moore has been announced as Wildcats' new captain.

He will be assisted by Henri Sandvik but a second assistant is yet to be chosen.
