TIGERS MOVE FOR KERR

SHEFFIELD have moved to sign Lewis Kerr following his recent release by King’s Lynn.

Kerr joins the Tigers as a replacement for Craig Cook to bring them back to a full seven-man side with Cook having been out injured for the last fortnight.

Manager Simon Stead said: “First and foremost I’d like to say that there’s nobody more disappointed than Craig and myself that things didn’t work out for him at Sheffield.

“I genuinely thought we’d got him in on a bargain average and I was convinced he could easily improve that figure.

“But for some reason, Craig just never really got going this year and it’s a shame because we know he’s a talented speedway rider.

“An opportunity presented itself to us when Lewi left King’s Lynn, and after Craig’s R/R rides on Monday only scored four points, we acted quickly to get a deal with Lewi over the line.

“Speaking to him you can hear the determination in his voice – a fresh start in the top flight of British Speedway at a different track is just what he feels he needs to get himself firing on all cylinders again.”
