CHAMPION RETURNS WITH FORMER FAVOURITE

Friday January 12, 2018
EUROPEAN Under-19 Champion Robert Lambert has ended speculation over his future by agreeing a return to King’s Lynn.


And he’ll be joined by hugely popular racer Lewis Kerr who makes an emotional return to the Adrian Flux Arena!

The duo join Thomas Jorgensen for the 2018 Premiership campaign with team building taking shape nicely as the Stars look to re-establish themselves as play-off challengers.

Boss Dale Allitt said: "These two are not only hugely talented speedway riders, but they're also very popular characters at King's Lynn who will be great for team spirit.

"There has been some speculation as to where Robert would be riding in 2018 but after a number of business like discussions we are pleased to have Robert as part of our team.

"On a personal level he's one rider I've worked with ever since he started his British career and it's been an absolute pleasure to watch him grow into the extraordinary talent that he is today.

"He's a real fans' favourite, he continues to improve on the track and I am sure that this will prove to be the case again in 2018.

"We also have great belief in Lewis and it’s great to have him back. Lewis has made an incredible comeback from his horrible accident in 2015 and we believe that Lewis is back to his winning form again.

"He's another product of our Young Stars academy and I think it's fair to say he has been greatly missed while he's been away.

"Lewis reminded us exactly of what he is capable of, and of his liking for the Adrian Flux Arena, when he scored double figures for Somerset in front of the TV cameras towards the back end of last season.

"He lives literally just down the road from the track, so he too is a local favourite, and his starting position within the team could be significant for us.

"With Robert and Lewis alongside Thomas Jorgensen (already announced), it's a very positive start to team-building and as well as having a strong determination for victory and success, those three riders also love to put on a show which is great for everyone involved."

Lambert said: “I’m pleased to have everything finalised and I’m looking forward to the new season with King’s Lynn.”

Kerr added: “It’s great to be heading back to King’s Lynn and I’m sure we are in for an exciting season.”

Stars will be announcing two more exciting riders on Friday January 19.
