CUBS CALL FOR MAX

LEICESTER have won the race to sign teenage talent Max Perry for the 2022 National Development League season.

Perry, who turns 15 in April thus making him eligible for NDL racing, boasts a tremendous record of success in his career to date ahead of his step up to full league action with the Lion Cubs.

He will also be competing in the British Youth Championship again this year as well as continuing his duties as official mascot for Premiership champions Peterborough.

Perry said: “I’ve always liked the Leicester track and have done many training days there. I think this will be a great way to start my National League career.

“I like to set myself challenges. My main target is to try and score in each of my races, have fun, and gain lots of experience at the same time.

“If I can make it to the main body of the team or even a heat-leader by the end of the season, that would be my ultimate goal – but I realise this will be very tough!”
