Workington Comets’ latest signing Elliot Kelly can’t wait to get started at Northside as it holds warm memories.
Kelly, 18, is the third member of the new Comets line-up to be announced – with a fourth expected at the week-end.
He had been expected to line up for Mildenhall this year but sat out the start of the campaign before completing the season with Armadale, and he will now join Luke Harrison at reserve for the Comets.
Kelly said: “Northside holds a special place in my heart as I learned to ride my bike on the training track nearly eight years ago now. I’m looking forward to showing everybody how far I’ve come since then.
“With a cracking team who have put thousands of hours into building a whole new track and stadium from next to nothing, I’ve got nothing but high hopes for the upcoming season.
“I can’t wait to get out there on a brand-new track and really push myself on as far as I can.”
Promoter Andrew Bain said he had been delighted with the way team-building has progressed, particularly as the new-look Comets were starting from scratch.
