Last updated 8th Aug 2022
King's Lynn Stars have announced the signing of Danish rider Frederik Jakobsen for the remainder of the season.
The 24 year old is being brought in as a replacement for Lewis Kerr, who departed last week.
He's returning to the UK to race after a spell with Poole Pirates in 2018. He has performed well this season in top-tier speedway in Poland.
Speaking to the Stars website,manager Alex Brady said: “Our season really has to kick into gear on Monday, we can’t afford any slip-ups from here on in.
“Frederik was keen to join us and we’re delighted to get the deal over the line with still a decent number of meetings remaining.
“It means we have an Ekstraliga rider coming in at reserve with the potential for me to give him seven rides, and that gives us a good opportunity.
“I didn’t want the season to just meander on, I want to give us the best chance to try and break into those play-offs.
“We know it’s going to be a big ask and we know we’re going to need near-on perfect results to get there, but I certainly didn’t want to die wondering!”
