TIGERS MOVE FOR FLINT

SHEFFIELD have signed Great Britain’s SGP2 racer Leon Flint as their new Rising Star for 2025.

The former British Under-21 and Under-19 Champion makes the switch from Birmingham – whilst the Brummies have snapped up Tigers’ favourite Jason Edwards as their new No.7.

Sheffield co-promoter Damien Bates said: “Because he’s been racing for teams since he was 15, people forget how young and how relatively early in his career Leon still is.

“Having said that, he’ll see next season as a pretty big one for him and you can tell he’s already focussed on stepping things up another level.

“He’s got three-and-a-half years’ experience in the top division from his time with Wolverhampton and Birmingham, and for a Rising Star that’s a lot.

“So hopefully he can bring everything he’s picked up already from that and I think once he’s settled in at Sheffield, he’ll grow and grow as the season goes on.”
