Lakeside Hammers have completed their line-up for the new season and have confirmed the signing of veteran Peter Karlsson.

The Swedish ace has been told by Wolves he would not be needed at Monmore Green in 2012.

Karlsson has now agreed terms with Lakeside to complete their line-up and he will be one of three heat-leaders along with Davey Watt and returning skipper Lee Richardson.

Robert Mear and Kim Nilsson were already confirmed, and to go with them there will be two doubling-up roles with Stuart Robson and Kauko Nieminen, along with Justin Sedgman and Richie Worrall.

Club owner Stuart Douglas said: "It's always really exciting announcing a new team, and we are really pleased that the last few pieces of the jigsaw fell into place much quicker than anticipated.

"I think this is one of the most thrilling teams we have ever tracked - we can look forward to 2012 with great anticipation."
