SCOTT Campos has been installed as the new manager of King’s Lynn’s National League side.
The 27-year-old has raced for the club over the past eight seasons but now joins the backroom for a side which so far includes Ryan Kinsley, Lewis Whitmore and Taylor Hampshire.
Campos said: “It's been something in the pipeline for about a year and a half now. Me and Dale (Allitt) discussed it some time ago and I’m glad to get a chance to take it on.
“There is a bit more responsibility for me now Dale has moved up to manage the main team, but I'm looking forward to it.
“It's a new challenge, so hopefully I can do a good job and help make it a successful season for the Young Stars.”Attachments:

KING'S LYNN Young Stars have snapped up former National League winner Danny Phillips for the 2017 campaign.
The 20-year-old was crowned a third tier Champion with the Cradley Heathens in his debut season in 2014 and has made some impressive progress following a couple of years at Stoke.
The Middlesbrough based racer is also heading into a second season with Newcastle in the SGB Championship but says he's delighted to finally seal his switch to the Adrian Flux Arena.
"I could have actually joined King's Lynn before but for a few different reasons I've had to wait until now," Phillips said.
"I'm really glad to finally be here now though and I'm really looking forward to working with everyone at the club - particularly the bosses Scott Campos and Dale Allitt.
"It's a really professional set-up at King's Lynn with professional facilities and I think this is a good move for me.
"I had a good first year at Cradley, a better first year with Stoke and last season was a bit tougher.
"I really want to step things up at King's Lynn though and my aim is to be their No.1 by the end of next season."
Young Stars team manager Scott Campos said: "Danny joins on a 6.25 average which, in my opinion, is an absolute steal.
"He's got bundles of ability and potential and I'm confident he can add a couple of points to his starting average.
"Danny's enjoyed his learning curve years in the National League, now it's time for him to establish himself as a true heat-leader which we feel he can easily do at King's Lynn.
"It yet again highlights the good relationship we have with Peterborough; Danny is one of their assets and we can't thank Ged Rathbone and everyone at Peterborough enough for helping us get this move through.
"Things are looking good behind the scenes and once a few things are finally put into place, we should be able to name a few more riders early in the New Year."
Danny Phillips is the fourth signing for the Young Stars so far alongside Ryan Kinsley, Taylor Hampshire and Lewis Whitmore.

From the SGB website:
::::::
JOSH Bailey will be back with the King's Lynn Young Stars for a fourth successive year in 2017.
The 19-year-old local lad began his career with the Norfolk outfit in 2014 and has remained with the club in the National League ever since.
Bailey's 2016 campaign was cut short after breaking his collarbone, but is now back fully fit and looking to continue his impressive progression at the Adrian Flux Arena.
Young Stars Team Manager Scott Campos said: "Josh has improved year-on-year and we can't wait to watch him continue improving again with us in 2017.
"He's just got better and better and he worked his way to our No.1 spot last season and it was fully deserved for the hard work he's put in over the years.
"His dedication and skill was also rewarded when he earned himself a team spot with Scunthorpe last year, where he'll also be doubling-up once again this year.
"Josh is a natural racer and he'll be looking to properly kick on this year which can only be good news for the Young Stars.
"With him, Danny Phillips and one other rider in mind, we're going to have a very exciting battle for the No.1 race jacket next season.
"For us that's great and it's a bit of healthy competition within the team that could really prove to be beneficial."

KING’S LYNN Young Stars have snapped up talented racer Kyle Hughes as their new No. 1 for the 2017 National League campaign.
The 27-year-old joins the Norfolk club on an 8.67 average – and is determined to make up for lost time.
Hughes endured a torrid 2016, suffering a broken leg for Eastbourne on the opening day of the season before sustaining a broken collarbone shortly after signing for Mildenhall in August.
But the Somerset born racer is now targeting an injury free year and is keen to repay the faith shown by the Young Stars’ promotion in what will be his third stint with the club after spells in both 2011 and 2014.
Said Hughes: “I won’t deny that my career so far and my progress in the sport has been halted by a number of injuries – but I’m hoping bad luck has left my side now.
“After an enjoyable and encouraging year at Rye House in 2015, I finally felt as though I was starting to get back to where I wanted to be.
“But not much else could have gone wrong last year and it did take its toll on me.
“It wasn’t just tough on my body physically, but it was really tough on me mentally as well because it was just another injury hit year.
“I wasn’t sure if I wanted to put myself through it all again, but I have to say that everyone at King’s Lynn has been amazing.
“They’ve gone above and beyond in terms of helping me get to this point and Dale (Allitt), Rob (Lyon) and Scott (Campos) have all made me want to get back on a bike again and do a job for the team.
“I know I’ve still got plenty to offer and with the management backing me how they have been at King’s Lynn, I think they could help me push myself back up the ladder again.
“Where I live now, the track is just under an hour away from me and I think that will help me a lot when it comes to race day.
“The management have kept me up to date with all of the team plans over the winter and I’m really excited for this season because I think there’s scope for improvement throughout the whole side.
“I’m just desperate to have a good year personally but I really do believe that we as a team can be strong contenders for a play-off place too.”
Meanwhile, Young Stars team manager Scott Campos said: “We’re absolutely delighted to have Kyle on board and I think a signing like this shows our intentions for the forthcoming season.
“He’s had some tough years in the sport but he’s fully recovered now, freshly focussed and he’s really looking forward to the challenge at Lynn.
“He’ll bring a lot to the team on track, but arguably just as importantly, his experienced head will also bring just as much off the track to what is another young team.”
Hughes joins Josh Bailey, Danny Phillips, Ryan Kinsley, Taylor Hampshire and Lewis Whitmore, meaning the Young Stars now have just one team place to fill.Attachments:
