THE Vortex Hammers have agreed a deal with Workington that will see ‘Rider of the Year’ Richard Lawson join the Club on a permanent deal. The Cumbrian club retain a buy back clause by agreement of all three parties.
The Vortex Hammers Co Promoter Jon Cook commented: “Richard is a crucial part of our team for 2014 and this move shows our commitment to working with him to become an established Elite League rider in the years ahead. It makes sense for us both to know that those efforts come with the security for Richard of knowing he has a long term future at this Club and for us that it reaps the benefits of his development. He has a great affection for the Comets and it’s appropriate that they should retain an option because of that.”
The Club are working on details for their opening meeting on March 28th but have now confirmed that the full team will also be riding an away Challenge Match at Poole on March 26th with Press Day scheduled for Tuesday 25th March at the Raceway.
