SWINDON have announced the return of spectacular Dane Peter Kildemand for a third season with the club.Kildemand will start as the Robins’ No.1 and is set to form a strong spearhead with new skipper Troy Batchelor.Manager Alun Rossiter said: “I’m absolutely delighted to have our double Rider of the Year back. Peter is a rider who gets better every year, and once again I feel there’s more to come from him.“He started with us on an average of just over four, he put it up to 6.98 in his first year and then it went to 8.25 last season, and I really think he could improve on that further because he’s learning all the time. He also guarantees excitement.”
