BERWICK have named their first five riders for the 2023 season "“ and confirmed that Chris Harris won't be back at Shielfield Park.
New signing Thomas Jorgensen returns to the Bandits six years after a previous stint in the black and gold colours, while Leon Flint has been appointed captain. Jye Etheridge, Jonas Knudsen and Nathan Stoneman have all extended their deals to remain with the club. Berwick co-owner Scott Courtney explained: "With all his European leagues and longtrack Grand Prix commitments, Chris simply couldn't commit to a Saturday night club. "We were always aware that he could only commit to 2022, and we will always remember the thrilling season he gave us in Bandits colours. "His popularity was underlined by the reaction from the fans at our end-of-season party, and the fact that he made the long journey from the Midlands with his family that night just underlines why he ranks as one of Britain's most popular riders. "We wish Chris and his family all the best for 2023 and while he leaves some huge boots to fill, we believe the seven we will track are all capable of delivering for the Bandits."
