Belle Vue have named the final three members to slot into their team for the upcoming season set to start in March.
Experienced Australian Travis McGowan has signed-up to ride a full season in the red & black this year, the 31-year-old has ridden for a number of teams in his career including King's Lynn, Oxford and most recently Somerset in the Premier League, he also had a doubling up position with Coventry towards the end of the season.
Team manager Jim Lynch believes that McGowan can add to his average this year, he told the clubs website: “I had room left for a four-point man to complete the side and stay under the 41-point limit."
"I made an extensive search of all the available riders and decided McGowan was the man. He is a snip signing on a four-point average because he can increase that by at least a full point.”
McGowan arrives at Kirkmanshulme Lane on an average of 4.49 and will be joined by doubling up riders Ulrich Ostergaard & Claus Vissing.
Ostergaard who is set to partner Charlie Gjedde will spend his time between the Aces and Redcar in the Premier League while Vissing will partner Grajczonek as well as riding for the Somerset Rebels.
