COVENTRY have completed their 2016 line-up with the signing of rising Polish talent Kacper Woryna.The 19-year-old, whose grandfather is a former World No.3, was a team-mate of Bees skipper Chris Harris at Rybnik last season, and will now compete in British Speedway for the first time.Coventry promoter Mick Horton said: "I wondered whether he would get around the small tracks but Bomber thinks that won’t be a problem - the Polish youngsters now do so much training on small tracks and also their English is superb. Kacper speaks perfect English.“Having weighed it all up, and looking at who else we could bring in, I decided we would go for it. Rybnik are taking him up to the top league so he’s got something about him, and it’s exciting for the club to bring in a new youngster.“We’ve worked hard to get our deals done and I think we’ve done well. I’m very confident we have a team that can challenge strongly for the play-offs.”

MILDENHALL have moved to sign up the vastly experienced Jon Armstrong for a third spell at West Row.Armstrong, who was with Stoke this year, previously rode for the Fen Tigers in 2004-06 and in 2013, the first of those seasons seeing him as part of a multi-trophy winning team.Mildenhall promoter Kevin Jolly said: “It became clear during last season how much we lacked an experienced head amongst our young side, and I did not want to go down that road again this time around. “Jon is a special rider at Mildenhall and his return will I am sure be met with excitement by our supporters who hold him, like I do, in such high regard. “Not only does he bring so much with his skills on the track, but it is in the pits where his experience and knowhow is so invaluable. He always has time for people and is a great team player and both Robert (Henry) and I look forward to working with him again.”
