Lord signed a 5 year deal this time last year.
The deal is a five-year agreement that gives Lord the option to move onto another league if the right opportunity comes up with a window after the season to pursue opportunities that may present themselves.
“There is a specific time frame every off-season that means he cannot leave past a certain deadline date.
“The date is set late enough to give him time to look into coaching opportunities in other leagues, but early enough to ensure the Devils will have plenty of time to find a coach if he did decide to leave.
“This option will take affect after this 2019-20 season.”
The contract includes an ownership stake in the team that is triggered if he stays for another two years in Cardiff.
