GOOD MOVE FOR MOUNTAIN

SHEFFIELD reserve Connor Mountain is delighted to be returning to Owlerton for a second spell this season.

Mountain, who previously rode for the club at Championship level, made several guest appearances for the Tigers in 2021 and has now secured a spot as their Rising Star for the new Premiership campaign.

He said: “It was great to have a few meetings with Sheffield in the play-offs last season.
“Jack Holder was definitely one of the top guys in the league so it’s always nice to try pick up some things from the likes of him.

“I rode with Adam (Ellis) a bit last year as a guest for Scunthorpe and Sheffield and we always get on well.

“I think the team has a great bunch of guys in and I’m looking forward to being a part of it and working with Steady (boss Simon Stead) too.”
