ROWE COMPLETES LIONS

LEICESTER have completed their Championship line-up with the signing of British youngster Anders Rowe.

The 19-year-old moves to the Paul Chapman & Sons Arena after spells with Redcar and Edinburgh this year, and he will start the season at reserve alongside Joe Thompson after suffering with knee trouble in the second half of the campaign.

Rowe said: “The track is really good there, and although my last meeting there was a bad one, that was just from my injury, and overall I like the track.

“Whenever I’ve been there in the past for practice or racing it seems to suit me. It’s a good race-track and Stewart (Dickson) prepares it how the whole team wants it, so everyone is happy with it and confident – and hopefully we’ll win a lot of races!

“The team looks strong to be honest, it’s a good consistent team with Nick (Morris), Richie (Worrall) and Kyle (Howarth) at the top, so we should be pretty strong.”
