Former Workington Comets rider Kyle Howarth is leaving Sheffield Tigers after eight seasons at Owlerton.
Howarth, who staged his testimonial meeting this year, won major silverware at both senior levels with the Tigers and made nearly 240 appearances, scoring over 1,900 points.
He led them to the top-flight league title in 2023 but will be heading elsewhere in the ROWE Motor Oil Premiership next year.
Howarth said: “Since joining the club in 2016, they’ve always wanted to be successful so winning the Championship with them in 2017, that was such a good year and to win it away at Ipswich was such a moment.
“Winning two Cup titles, winning the Pairs title twice with them and then of course 2023 and that dramatic final against Ipswich at home, to come back from 18 points, that will be one of the best moments for me.
“To win six trophies in eight years with them has been amazing and it’s been great times for me there.
“I just want to say a massive thank you to the promotion for everything they’ve done and sticking by me through some tough runs, to the fans who’ve supported me throughout and I just want to wish Sheffield Speedway all the best in the future.”
Howarth, 30, rode for the Comets from 2012 to 2015 and was the 2015 British Under-21s champion.
