KENT have continued their Championship preparations with the double signing of Cameron Heeps and Tom Bacon.
Heeps (pictured) joins the league newcomers after spending 2019 with Edinburgh whilst Bacon, who rode for Redcar this year until suffering a back injury in late-June, has previously scored heavily at Central Park in the National League.
Kings manager Chris Hunt said: “We are delighted that Cameron is on board for the forthcoming season.
“He has made a big impact on British Speedway these past few years – indeed, it’s remarkable really that for someone still as young as 24 and having come here from somewhere as far away as Australia, that he’s about to start his tenth season in British Speedway. That makes him a very experienced rider at this level and this will be invaluable to us.
“There’s simply no-one who’s been more popular among the Central Park faithful as a visiting rider than Tom – and his performances have been consistently brilliant with high scores and some of the fastest race-winning times too.
“We have, of course, wanted him in our ranks for some time now and our elevation up into the Championship means that now can be a reality.”www.speedwaygb.co.uk/news.php?extend.37733
