LAMBERT STAYS WITH SCORPIONS

SCUNTHORPE have announced the return of Simon Lambert, whose latest spell with the club dates back to midway through the 2019 season.

Lambert was awarded the captaincy last year, when the Scorpions reached the Championship play-offs, and was again solid in the middle order in the campaign just ended.

Promoter Rob Godfrey said: “I don’t think the news that Simon Lambert will again be part of our club in 2023 will surprise anyone.

“We know what we’re getting with Simon. He wants Scunthorpe Speedway to be successful as much as I do. He really wants to win a league title – and he wants to win it with us. When we get beaten, I feel it and I know Simon does too.

“He’s a very good captain, because he’s always motivated and is keen to make sure the rest of the side is too. He is popular with our fans, because they can see that he’s giving everything for the club.”
