Berwick Bandits’ management have added Leicester-born David Howe to their team for next season.
Howe made a massive impact in Berwick’s last season and the hugely-experienced 37-year-old is pleased to return to the Northumbrian club.
Scott Courtney, the club’s co-owner and promoter, said: “We are buzzing to get the 2017 comeback king David Howe back as our third rider on the Berwick Bandit’s roster for the 2018 season.
“He wanted to be back and made no secret of that fact and we always want riders who desperately want to ride for us. His loyalty is amazing.
“David became an instant hit on the terraces at Shielfield Park Stadium and recaptured his enthusiasm for the sport in abundance last season.
“He is as keen as anything to make sure that continues in 2018 as he is determined to re-establish himself as a legitimate heat leader in the Championship and once again show the speedway world exactly why he was a Team GB member and a fierce competitor on the world scene not that long ago.”
Howe joins the previously two announced riders, skipper Kevin Doolan and newcomer to the Berwick scene, Aaron Summers, to form a solid core.
