SHEFFIELD have made a double signing in order to return to a seven-rider team following the serious injuries suffered by Tai Woffinden last month.
Woffinden is out of hospital and is making remarkable progress, but he still faces a lengthy rehabilitation period as the ROWE Motor Oil Premiership season goes on.
The Tigers have moved to bring in Justin Sedgmen and Lewis Kerr, both of whom have had previous spells at Owlerton, with Danyon Hume the unlucky rider to make way.
Manager Simon Stead said: “We’ve had to change the dynamics of our line-up but I think we’ve found a sensible solution and formed a new look to our team that still leaves us in a really strong position to challenge again this year.
“Both Justin and Lewi are really excited, they’re extremely keen to be back in the top division and to be back with Sheffield where they’ll both feel they’ve got unfinished business and where they’ve already got such a good rapport with people around the club.
“We’d like to place on record our thanks to Danyon who is simply the unfortunate victim of the position and situation we’ve found ourselves in.”
