New Sheffield signing Craig Cook is hoping Tigers fans get to see the best of him this season.
The West Cumbrian, a former British Champion admits he had a tough time in 2021 coming back to the sport after a year off.
Cook had an interrupted campaign, leaving King’s Lynn very early in the season and later while riding at Ipswich had to take a short break because of mental health issues.
He finished the season strongly for Ipswich and Glasgow and is looking forward to new targets with Sheffield.
He is returning to Glasgow for Championship speedway and is looking forward to another stab at the Premiership with Sheffield.
Whitehaven-born Cook, 34, has vowed to enjoy his racing at Owlerton and is pleased to be linking up with manager Simon Stead, another former Workington Comets favourite.
Cook said: “Steady’s a great guy and I’m looking forward to riding for him. He was a good rider, very fast around Sheffield.
“He told me to come along and enjoy myself, no pressure, just go out there and enjoy it and that’s what I intend to do.
“Riding as a second-string will take a bit of pressure off me. Hopefully I can just go there and enjoy my racing. The main thing I want to achieve is to get back to the rider I was.”
He will be linking up with Kyle Howarth, another former Workington rider who has been retained by the Tigers for the 2022 season.
