SCUNTHORPE have made their second signing of the winter in teenager Ryan Ingram.
The 15-year-old joins new No. 1 Josh Pickering at the Eddie Wright Raceway after making his debut in the third tier this summer with Leicester and Plymouth. Scunthorpe team manager David Howe said: “Both Rob (Godfrey, Scunthorpe promoter) and myself were impressed with Ryan when he rode at Scunthorpe last season and I have been watching him improve all season at Leicester. We feel with the right help he can keep his rapid progress going and be a vital part of the team. “Obviously signing Josh was a major coup for the club, but it does mean we have to look at riders who will either improve or provide a solid base for the team. Ryan has scope to improve his average. “But just like Luke (Harrison) was two seasons ago, he will be given time and absolutely no pressure from myself - my job is to try and help him and guide him. He’s a good starter, which at any level helps, but the more a rider climbs the more it helps. Every time I’ve seen him hit the front, he is very fast."
