COLTS NAME FIRST TWO

BELLE Vue have made Jack Smith and Sam Hagon their first two signings to line up for the Colts in the NDL this season.

Smith retains the captaincy as he returns for a fifth season in total at the NSS, whilst Hagon joins after spending the 2022 campaign with Oxford, although he has guested for the Manchester side in the past.

Club CEO Mark Lemon said: “Jack is a dependable rider and has always led by example as our captain.

“Colts managers Steve Williams and Graham Goodwin and I felt he absolutely deserves to stay in that role. He always goes above and beyond for the rest of the team and he is a leader.

“Sam Hagon is quite a coup for the club, not only given his strong roots in the sport, but the amount of natural talent he has on a speedway bike is fantastic and he too is looking forward in joining us.

“He played a central role in Mildenhall’s 2021 league victory and we feel he has so much more to offer the sport, and we’re very happy to have him on board for the new season.”
