Sheffield Tigers captain Andre Compton returns to the side on Thursday just seven days after being involved in a serious accident.

Compton crashed in heat 15 of the home defeat to Birmingham leaving him badly bruised and needing medical attention.

But the Tigers skipper has declared himself fit for the visit of the Rye House Rockets in the Premier League.

He will be joined by reserve Lee Smethills who will ride for the first time since injuring his neck.

Tigers promoter Neil Machin told BBC Radio Sheffield: "It's a boost for us, it is obviously very good news to have them both back and to be honest we would like to go through the remainder of the season without any injuries please."
