TIGERS NAME GP DUO

SHEFFIELD’S title defending team will be spearheaded by Grand Prix big guns Jack Holder and Tai Woffinden.

The inclusion of the two World class stars will be seen as a real statement of intent from Tigers club bosses as they look to retain the Premiership crown next year.

Ironically Holder and Woffinden both missed their successful play-off campaign due to injury, but they will return to Owlerton in 2024.

Team manager Simon Stead said: “I think most people will agree that as far as launching team building for the defence of our league title goes, it couldn’t be any better than this.

“In Jack and Tai we have got two proven genuine World class riders and to have two GP boys spearheading our side is unbelievable.

“They are two of the World’s very best and I think by including them in our team, we are showing just how serious we are about making it back-to-back league titles.

“They were both absolutely gutted to be sidelined at the end of the season and miss out on that Grand Final – but they’re both chomping at the bit to be back at Sheffield and we feel like we’re doing something right for two riders of their stature to want to be back in our team.”
