VICTOR BACK WITH BANDITS

BERWICK have announced a return for experienced Swedish star Victor Palovaara who is set for a second season with the club in 2027.

The 32-year-old played a key role in the Bandits’ KO Cup triumph this year, scoring 17 points over the two legs of the Final against Plymouth.

He comes back to Shielfield Park on an average of 5.64, and it leaves the club with just one place to fill in their line-up.

Bandits owner Jamie Courtney said: “By his own admission Victor didn’t quite have the season he was looking for, but he still put in some big performances, especially during our Cup run.

“He was always in our thoughts as we built the team for 2027 and I’m delighted that we can add him to what is a familiar looking side – but one where all the riders, including Victor, are capable of pushing on to the next level.”
