TEENAGERS Dan and Joe Thompson are to be handed a massive opportunity with their local club Leicester next season.
The twins, who will turn 16 on April 22, have been named as the reserve pairing for the Lions in 2020 after a year of meteoric progress.
Manager Stewart Dickson said: “Some people might say it may be too soon for them, but I’m not one of those people. I’ve been astonished at their progress at National League level, and obviously I’ve seen a lot of them around our home track.
“Dan and Joe have been the subject of enquiries from other teams, and I think it would have been a travesty if they had come back and raced against Leicester.
“I know some will see this as a gamble, but as far as I’m concerned these boys are big news for Leicester, and we’ve got to get them in.”
