Weymouth Wildcats have confirmed former Stoke Spitfires rider Luke Priest will join the club as their penultimate signing for the new season. The 22-year-old has resumed his career after recovering from an horrific, life-threatening accident while at Stoke in 2006.
"I really enjoyed riding at the Wessex Stadium circuit in 2005 and can't wait to get started," said Priest.
"I know I can do a good job for Weymouth Wildcats."
Priest returned to action last year riding in seven meetings.
He added: "Throughout the winter I have been working hard on my fitness in preparation for this season.
"I was looking at a slot in the Premier League or a possible return to Stoke, but with no Conference League at Stoke and a Premier League place failing to materialise I found myself without a team."
The accident had left him in hospital for three months, on a life support machine and in intensive care for three weeks.
