PALIN BACK WITH SCORPIONS

HOT prospect Jordan Palin will remain with Scunthorpe in the Championship next season.

The former British Youth Champion enjoyed a terrific debut year in professional speedway, and achieved a 5.70 average for the Scorpions – a figure which promoter Rob Godfrey feels is only going to go one way.

Godfrey said: “We know how good Jordan is and how good he is going to be. He’s made outstanding progress in speedway, and he will continue to come in leaps and bounds, because of his dedication and commitment.

“He’s got absolutely the right attitude and he keeps his feet on the ground. He’s also got a family who are 100 per cent behind him – everything is just spot on.

“I’ve always said it’s just a matter of time before he becomes our No 1. I’m convinced he’s got what it takes to conquer the speedway world and I firmly believe he has a long and successful career ahead of him.”
