WHILE Edinburgh Monarchs bosses ponder their team for 2017, Glasgow Tigers have now signed four.
Jack Smith, a talented 17-year-old, joins heat-leaders Aaron Summers, a former Edinburgh rider, Richie Worrall and Richard Lawson in the Tigers line-up so far.
Smith comes in at Reserve on a two-point average and is rated as one of Britain’s hottest prospects and he is a winner after as he was part of the National League winning squad at Birmingham last season.
Stoke-based Smith is the son of Andy Smith, a former world No 5 and three-time British Champion and the ambitious teenager said: “I’ve achieved a fair bit in my short career so far but to sign for such a big club as Glasgow is definitely a moment I will never forget.
“When the club invited me and dad up for a look around towards the end of the season we were really impressed with how they run the speedway.
“It was very professional. It shows their passion to want to be the best.”
