DUDLEY have finalised their team plans by signing Gareth Isherwood in a loan deal from National League rivals Stoke.Isherwood becomes the fifth new recruit for the Heathens, after making a comeback from serious injury in a brief spell with Mildenhall last season.He said: Its an ideal move really. Its a big club with a good setup, plus its not too far away for me being based in Manchester.I rode for Stoke in 2011 and then at the end of the season I broke my back riding at Mildenhall. It took me a while to recover from that but then I came back at the end of last season to ride for Mildenhall to basically get my name back out there. It went pretty well and luckily I have managed to get this spot with Heathens for 2013.
