Czech rider Lukas Dryml hopes he can reinforce the Peterborough Panthers line-up ahead of their match with Coventry Bees on Thursday evening.

Dryml returned to the Panthers over the weekend as boss Trevor Swales aimed to strengthen his side after a poor season and the departure of Hans Andersen.

"I can be a good strength for the team because I know the Showground track very well," Dryml said.

"It may take a few laps but it should not take long before I hit good form."

Dryml's arrival followed the return to Peterborough of fans' favourite Ryan Sullivan and Polish rider Karol Zabik.

Panthers are second-from-bottom of the Elite League after a disappointing first-half of the season.

"I understand they have been struggling," Dryml said.

"It won't depend on me alone but if everyone does their job we can do much better as a team.

"My average is not very high and I think I can do more than that shows."
