Paul Starke has targeted winning silverware after becoming the fifth rider to sign for ambitious Glasgow Tigers.
The 27-year-old plans to fly to Scotland for matches from his home near Hereford and Starke switches from Peterborough Panthers, the side that knocked Glasgow out the Championship play-offs last term.
Starke said: “Glasgow are making some changes for next year and I’m fortunate enough to be joining.
“I’m hoping I can go there and really bring some major honours to the club.”
He added: “They (Glasgow) have put money in the right areas and are trying to improve speedway and promote it and, as a rider, I want to be a part of that.
“They were unlucky last season, missing out on a few things, and I want to make sure that doesn’t happen next year.”
“Although it’s a long distance (from his home to Glasgow), it’s a big opportunity and I think it’s the right move for me to make.”
