MORRIS MOVES UP WITH LIONS

AUSTRALIAN star Nick Morris is remaining with Leicester for their step up to the Premiership next season.

Morris has ridden for the Lions in the Championship for the last two years and will be back at the Paul Chapman & Sons Arena in 2023 after being with Wolverhampton in the top-level league since 2019.

Lions boss Stewart Dickson said: “First and foremost we’re thankful to Wolverhampton for giving us the opportunity to keep Nick at Leicester.

“I’m sure he’d tell you himself that it was a tough decision because Wolves are a very professional club who looked after him well, but we made him clear that we wanted him to stay with us.

“He’s the track record holder around the Paul Chapman & Sons Arena, and with the new ruling in play for the aggregate bonus point, he was one rider that we very much wanted to keep, and we’re very pleased that we’ve managed to do so.”
