Bees finalise line-up

The Bees had already confirmed much of their side with Chris Harris, Edward Kennett, Scott Nicholls, Kenni Larsen and DU man Aaron Summers named.

They have now been joined by Henning Bager, Leigh Lanham, Adam Roynon and Jason Bunyan.

Experienced Dane Bager will ride full time at reserve, whilst Lanham will share with summers as Roynon and Bunyon will take the last place.

New owner Mick Horton said: "I'm really pleased with the team line-up, and I don't see any reason why we shouldn't be up there challenging to get into the play-offs.

"Our top four speaks for itself, I believe it's going to be amongst the strongest top-orders in the Elite League, but I'm also very happy with the other riders we've brought in with the points available.

"I've also been overwhelmed by the response to season tickets so far, we're up by almost double this year and they are still available at the discounted rate until the end of December.

"There seems to be a real feel-good factor around the club and we can't wait to get started with the Brandonapolis in March, which looks like it's going to be a really special event in itself."
