CRAIG Cook is moving to Edinburgh in a full transfer from Workington.The 23-year-old won the National League Riders' Championship in his first full season of speedway in 2009, and has impressed at Premier League level with the Comets over the last two years.Monarchs have swooped after Cook requested a transfer, and they now have two places to fill in their team, which will not include their former No.1 Ryan Fisher who wishes to step up to the Elite League.Cook said: "I would like to have been back at Workington because it's nice and easy for me, right on the doorstep. But I think that moving to Edinburgh will do me more good, it's a bogey track for some people but I look forward to going there because it's a track I like riding."I've got the pace and my gating's second to none, I led Ryan Fisher at Armadale last year till I just picked up on the last bend and he passed me."

LEICESTER are one rider away from finalising their team plans - as Richard Hall joins the Premier League newcomers in a loan deal from Sheffield.And Lions promoter David Hemsley believes the newly-constructed circuit at Beaumont Park will perfectly suit Hall's style of racing.Hemsley said: "Richard is an out and out racer who has produced many fine performances during his career."The Beaumont Park track is designed to provide exciting speedway and I am sure that he will take full advantage of the many racing lines that the purpose built track will create."
