Dakota North has joined Newcastle Diamonds in a loan deal from Elite League club Peterborough.

The 18-year-old Australian, who has a British passport, will start the season on a three-point average.

North, who impressed at Mildenhall Fen Tigers last season, said: "I'm delighted to be settling at Newcastle for my first Premier League break.

"My fellow Aussie Mark Lemon is up there and he will be a great help to have in the pits."
