FORMER Birmingham rider Kyle Newman (pictured) has signed for Eastbourne following the loss of Tom Brennan to a broken leg.
Newman, who was recently released by the Brummies, switches south to Arlington, where he will make his Eastbourne debut against Berwick on Saturday. Eagles co-promoter Trevor Geer said: "Make no mistake, losing Tom is a huge blow to the club and rider and the only consolation is that his amazing start to the season allows us to introduce a rider of Kyle's quality. "He has proved he knows the fastest way round Arlington and his experience will be crucial as we seek to rebuild our confidence and season."
