King's Lynn Stars sign Jason Edwards from Redcar
The 19 year old is coming in as a replacement for injured Jack Thomas
King's Lynn Stars have signed Jason Edwards from Redcar as an injury replacement for Jack Thomas.
The 19 year old has had a recent good run of form in the Championship and is no stranger to the East of England, hacing previously spent time at Mildenhall Fen Tigers.
Speaking to the Stars' website, manager Alex Brady said: “Jason’s a well-measured and well-calculated young man, and when I spoke to him he’d already been thinking about potentially riding in the Premiership and what it would mean for him.
“He’s come across really well, I’m very impressed with his attitude and he’s a rider who’s doing some good things at the moment, so I’m pleased to have him with us.
“He’s also very busy on his bike at the moment, which can only be good for us, and he will be in the team on Thursday."
Jack Thomas suffered a double wrist injury after a crash earlier this month and was initially thought to be out for eight weeks.
However after a scan on Friday its emerged he's healing well and won't need an operation.
He's expected to have a cast off in the first week of July and could be back on the bike later that month.
