TEAM UPDATE: MIDDLESBROUGH TIGERS

The Middlesbrough Tigers have been forced into an early-season team change after it became clear that Ben Trigger will be unable to commit to the season ahead.

Ben has been a high performer at NDL level, and riders of a similar calibre are not readily available . As a result, the club has acted swiftly to ensure the side remains competitive.

We are pleased to welcome a familiar face, with Jade Mudgway stepping in to the Tigers. Jade is well known to everyone at the club and brings a wealth of experience to what is a very young team.

He will go straight into the line-up this Sunday for the trip to Oxford.

We’d like to place on record our thanks to Ben and wish him well in the future.
