Bjerre is the younger brother of Elite League rider Kenneth

Lasse Bjerre believes he will be riding for one of the Premier League's top clubs next season after committing to the King's Lynn Stars.

The Dane, 16, joined the Stars in mid-season alongside next term's only other confirmed rider, Adam Roynon.

He told BBC Radio Norfolk: "It all works for me now. The track is good and I'm not so confused in my head about the track.

"I like the stadium, I like the people. It's the best club I think."

Despite being only 16, Bjerre has secured a reputation as being a solid Premier League performer, as displayed by his paid 13 points haul against champions Newcastle last week.

It's better to have lots of racing. You get a lot of skills and you learn every day Lasse Bjerre

"This year I have done so much racing compared to last year," he said.

"It's better to have lots of racing. You get a lot of skills and you learn every day."

Bjerre, who was part of the Danish Under-21 World Championship winning team, is the younger brother of Peterborough Panthers rider Kenneth.

When asked if he could match his older sibling's achievements, which include 28 speedway Grand Prix appearances and the 2010 Danish individual title, Bjerre said: "Yeah. I'll be better."
