WORRALL TO LEAD BRUMMIES

STEVE Worrall has been named as Birmingham’s new club captain for their 2024 Premiership campaign.

Worrall, who is one of three former Wolverhampton riders in the team, was confirmed as skipper at the Curtis Sport Brummies’ pre-season press day at Perry Barr on Monday.

“It’s not a role I’m new to,” Worrall said.

“I’ve experienced it at other clubs before but it’s a new era for Birmingham.

“It’s a big leap moving up into the Premiership and to be a part of it is fabulous.

“But to be selected as captain over the rest of the team is an honour.”

The Brummies kick off their season at fellow top-flight newcomers Oxford on Thursday.
