Craig Cook, Edinburgh Monarchs’ former skipper, is relishing his switch to Peterborough Panthers.
And the rider, who also tracks for Glasgow Tigers, believes the Alwalton side can mount a trophy challenge in the Premiership.
The former British Champion has joined Panthers after six successive seasons with Manchester-based Belle Vue and Aces are his new side’s first opponents in 2019.
Cumbria-based Cook said Peterborough have a solid team and thinks the club are set for a good season.
Elsewhere, John Louis has retired from his role as co-promoter of Ipswich after nearly half a century associated with the Foxhall club.
Louis became British Champion and world No 3 during his riding career.
His son Chris remains at the helm of the Suffolk side and will be joined as a co-promoter by new owner Keith Chapman.
