SHEFFIELD Tigers are delighted to announce the signing of fans' favourite Richard Hall for next season's Premier League campaign.

Hall becomes the third rider to agree terms for the Owlerton side with Premier League Riders' Champion Ricky Ashworth and talented Australian youngster Hugh Skidmore.

The club can confirm talks are ongoing with several other riders with a view to making more team announcements in the not too distant future.

Sheffield owner Neil Machin said: "Richard is the latest piece in the team jigsaw and we're delighted about it.

"He's a class act around our own track but during our discussions we both agreed he needs to up his performance levels away from home.

"We're determined to be as successful as possible and the team is taking shape nicely."
