LEICESTER are closing in on finalising their team for the 2025 Premiership season after confirming the return of Sam Masters.
The former Wolverhampton star switched to Beaumont Park in 2024 and becomes the Lions’ sixth signing of the winter. Team manager Stewart Dickson said: “Sam is very consistent, and he wins big races. I think he had a slow start to the season, but he then picked up his form, and quite often he was asked to go with Max (Fricke) in Heat 15 up against some very good riders. “He delivered more often than not and I’m sure the highlight of this season would have been the two Heat 15 5-1s in the play-off semi-final against Ipswich. “I know people said he had a big home track advantage at Monmore Green and his average could only go one way, but he actually put his average up when he came to Leicester which shows he’s still very capable of doing a heat-leader job for us.”
