STEAD EXCITED FOR ROWE PROGRESS

SHEFIELD boss Simon Stead admits Anders Rowe’s Owlerton displays as a visitor in 2024 make him even more excited to see what he can do as a fully-fledged Tigers rider.

Rowe made three visits to South Yorkshire last season with ROWE Motor Oil Premiership rivals King’s Lynn, scoring 25+2 points from the Rising Star berth – but that didn’t come as a massive shock to Stead, who has been keeping tabs on the talented 22-year-old Brit for quite some time.

He said: “Anders has been doing a lot of good things for quite a while that has perhaps gone under the radar.

“But I’ve always had my eye on him and he’s always been someone I’ve felt has got the potential to go a long way.

“Focussing on what he did at Sheffield as an away rider, that makes me really excited to see what he’s got.

“It will be more difficult for him in the main body of the team, which is where he’ll start the season for us at least, but I truly believe he’s ready for that progression.”
