COOK STAYING WITH ACES

ZACH Cook has sealed a return to Belle Vue after a successful first season in Aces colours last year.

The 26-year-old Australian pushed his Premiership average up to 6.20 and is now set to take on a heat-leader berth at the National Speedway Stadium in 2026.

Cook said: “I really enjoyed my time there last year, and hopefully this year we can go a few steps better, make that Final and get some silverware.

“I’m looking forward to it – not long now and we’ll be heading back over, and the season will be underway shortly.”
