HANS NAMED PANTHERS SKIPPER

PETERBOROUGH have appointed long-serving Danish racer Hans Andersen as captain for the new Premiership season.

Andersen reclaims the role with the Panthers taking over from Scott Nicholls, who led the club to the title in 2021 but is not racing in the top-flight this year.

Manager Rob Lyon said: “I spoke to Hans in the early part of the winter when we decided to go down that road, and I just felt it was the right thing to do.

“He’s experienced, he’s a bit of a legend at Peterborough, he wanted to come back and I’ve seen in the pits in the last two years how he is with everyone. He’s a good team man and it was a natural choice for me.”
