EASTBOURNE have confirmed returns to the club for Lukas Dryml and Denis Gizatullin for the coming Elite League campaign.The pair both rode for the Eagles last season and are likely to start 2013 in the reserve berths for the Arlington side.Co-promoter Trevor Geer said: Denis learned a lot last year and we should see the benefit once the league season starts. He is ultra-keen to make his mark in England.Lukas Dryml on his day can beat anyone around Arlington and one thing is for sure, he will be riding his socks off to get out of a reserve berth as soon as possible. That just has to be great news for the team.

GLASGOW have completed their line-up with the signing of 22-year-old Australian rider Joey Ringwood.The arrival of the former motocross rider means the Tigers will have two UK debutants in their ranks this season as Ringwood joins fellow countryman Harley Horwood, with the Premier League club now seeking work sponsorship certificates.Co-promoter Colin Hamilton said: Joey and Harley have come highly recommended to us by a number of independent speedway experts Down Under. When asked about being able to handle making their UK debuts and standing up to the rigour and challenges involved, it was these lads who were repeatedly identified. They are both in their early 20s and that, in our opinion, gives them an additional advantage when it comes to having the maturity to handle the challenges ahead.

JON Armstrong is back in speedway and set for a second spell with Mildenhall in the National League.The 38-year-old has rejoined the Fen Tigers after sitting out the 2012 season, having previously ridden at West Row in 2004-06, and he comes in on a loan deal from Dudley.Armstrong said: I can honestly say that Mildenhall is one of my all time favourite tracks, it is great to be back and I can't wait to get started. Ive had a year off but I am fully fit and I'll now be getting plenty of practice in before the season starts. I am also looking forward to helping some of the younger boys out. When I started there wasn't much advice on offer, so I'll do all I can to help the team.
