Swindon Robins have agreed to allow new Australian star Richard Sweetman to ride for the Isle of Wight.

The 17-year-old has just arrived in the country, after pledging his long term future to the Robins.

Meanwhile, Swindon say they are closing in on a new signing to replace injured reserve Seb Alden, and will make an announcement soon.

The Swedish rider suffered a broken heel after crashing heavily in last week's 45-45 draw against Belle Vue.
