Reading, PA - The Reading Royals, proud ECHL affiliate of the Philadelphia Flyers and Lehigh Valley Phantoms, announced that they have acquired defenseman Logan Britt and Future Considerations from the Greenville Swamp Rabbits as part of a three-way deal. In this transaction, forward Devon Paliani was sent to the Savannah Ghost Pirates in exchange for forward Brent Pedersen. The Royals then flipped Pedersen to Greenville for Britt and Future Considerations.

Britt, 25, joins Reading for his first full professional season after signing with Greenville to begin his professional career out of the University of North Dakota on April 5th, 2024. With Greenville last season, the Crystal Lake, Illinois native registered an assist for one point, four penalty minutes and a +3 rating in four regular season games.

Britt played on two NCAA regular season champion teams with Sacred Heart University (Eastern College Athletic Conference) in 2020-21 and Sioux Falls (National Collegiate Hockey Conference) in 2023-24.  He was also selected to the NCAA Atlantic Hockey Association's Second All-Conference Team in 2021-22 with Sacred Heart University.
