DOUBLE SIGNING FOR STARS

KING’S Lynn have agreed deals for Danish ace Niels-Kristian Iversen to return to the club, with GB youngster Anders Rowe taking their Rising Star berth.

Iversen raced for the Stars’ local rivals Peterborough this year but has spent much of his top-flight career at the Adrian Flux Arena.

Meanwhile Rowe was a successful mid-season signing in 2023 and is expected to be a key figure at reserve.

Manager Rob Lyon said: “Niels does have quite an attractive average (6.64), and I know we always say that about certain riders, but he did finish the season so strongly this year.

“He isn’t a No.1 anymore and he knows that – but he certainly offers a lot in the middle of the team. He’s got good connections with King’s Lynn in the past, and probably for the first time in my dealings with him, he was the one who approached us and said he wanted to come back next year.

“Anders had some terrific meetings at King’s Lynn towards the end of the year, and I really see him as a rider who has a future in the sport.

“I think it gives us a solid start at reserve and as long as he can have an injury-free season I think he’ll be fine, and he’ll contribute greatly to our performances.”
