Greenville, SC – The Greenville Swamp Rabbits have announced the roster addition of defenseman Luke Martin ahead of this weekend’s homestand. Previously, Martin landed his AHL debut with the Texas Stars on a professional tryout agreement. The 22-year-old signed a Standard Player Contract with Greenville on December 29, 2020, and appeared in three games.
The St. Louis, Missouri native, armed the blueline at Michigan from 2016-2020 and served as an alternate captain in his senior season.
