SCUNTHORPE have confirmed that this year's successful mid-season signing Tero Aarnio will be back with the Scorpions in 2011.The Finnish rider quickly became a hit with fans at the Eddie Wright Raceway, and promoter Rob Godfrey is hoping to complete a full transfer deal with Aarnio's parent club Berwick.Godfrey said: "Tero far exceeded our expectations and he is determined to take his game to the next level next year. He is a very focussed and determined young man and I think he just wants to make up for some lost time in his career."He has suffered several injuries but largely escaped unscathed last year and we saw the benefit. He added over a point to his average and I can see him doing it again in 2011."

PREMIER League newcomers Leicester have completed a deal to sign Jamie Courtney in a full transfer from King's Lynn.Courtney's father Mark was the Lions' No.1 in their final season at their previous Blackbird Road venue back in 1983, but promoter David Hemsley insists the family link is purely coincidental.Hemsley said: "I am aware of the impact Mark Courtney made at Leicester during his time at the club but that did not influence my decision to sign Jamie."He is a man in his own right and deserves respect as a young ambitious English rider who I am sure will go on to create his own niche and headlines in the new era of the Lions."
