MONARCHS BRING BACK SEDGMEN

EDINBURGH have signed Australian star Justin Sedgmen for a third spell with the club.

Sedgmen was a member of the multiple trophy-winning Monarchs teams of 2014-15 and also rode at Armadale in 2019, before recently appearing in the Cab Direct Championship for Birmingham.

He said: “I wanted to eliminate some travelling and come back to Edinburgh as I enjoy it and generally always score well at Armadale. If you look at my past record and even last year, I had some good scores there.

“I wanted to come back as I really feel I can get dialled into Armadale quickly again and make it a dominant home track for me. I didn’t really have that at Birmingham as the away riders seemed to ride it as well as the home guys, so it was difficult to get the big points.

“Your home track should be where you score the most of your points and make the most of your money but that wasn’t the case last year, my away average was higher than at home so if I can become dominant at Armadale and score as I was away then my average will go up, so it made lot of sense to come back.”
