FORMER Sheffield man Simon Lambert is the third opposition rider confirmed for Kyle Howarth’s testimonial next month.

The Lincolnshire born racer had a spell with the Steel City outfit in 2010/11 and will ride alongside Howarth in this year’s second division at Scunthorpe.

Lambert joins Freddie Lindgren and Rory Schlein in the Rest of the World side that will go head-to-head with the 2024 Tru7 Group Sheffield Tigers at Owlerton on Thursday, March 14 (7.30).

Said Howarth: “Simon has always been a great team man and I’m looking forward to riding with him at Scunthorpe this season. “Wherever he rides he always gives 100 per cent and the crowd love a rider like that.

“He knows the Sheffield track well and the fans always give him a good reception when he comes back.”
