PETERBOROUGH have confirmed the addition of five riders to the club’s asset base.
The Panthers, who unveiled the signing of multi British Champion Scott Nicholls last month, have also acquired Chris Harris, Ben Barker and Adam Roynon for their their retained list. Michael Palm Toft (pictured) has also made his move to the East of England Arena a permanent one in an outright transfer from Scunthorpe, with Jason Garrity moving to North Lincolnshire in exchange to join the Scorpions. Panthers promoter Ged Rathbone said: “I was delighted to complete this deal, which makes the club far more stable and give us a very good rider asset base to choose from in the future. “We have some of the top names in the league now on our books, and it shows again that we’re working very hard behind the scenes to make ourselves a secure business. “These things can’t happen without the help of our sponsors, and I’d like to place on record my sincere thanks to David Balfe of T.Balfe Construction for his help and support. “The transfers were concluded prior to the start of the season, and with Scunthorpe’s announcement of the swap between Michael and Jason, it’s now appropriate for us to clarify matters from our side. “Regarding that particular move, I do have to say I have a lot of time for Jason, he’s a spectacular rider to watch and we wish him all the best for the future. “I just felt that at this time this was the most sensible move to make, especially with the two riders involved racing for each other’s parent clubs. “Michael very much fits the bill of what we’re trying to put together here at Peterborough. “We’re a family club and he’s a family man, he’s settled here in the UK and we would like to see him part of the set-up here for many years to come.”
