BELLE Vue have moved to sign Tobias Kroner as cover for the injured Charlie Gjedde.Gjedde suffered a pre-season knee injury which is taking longer than expected to recover - so the Manchester men have gone for the former Ipswich man.Aces' team boss Chris Morton said: "It is going to take Charlie longer than expected to get fit again. "It is a terrible blow for him because he was ready to come back, only to be halted in his tracks again. We can only hope he will be back sooner rather than later."We moved for Tobias because he has good Elite League experience. We talked to his parent club, Ipswich, who were extremely helpful in allowing us to have discussions with him."
