THE Lakeside Hammers have revealed fans’ favourites Richard Lawson and Piotr Swiderski will be returning to the team for the new season.

Lawson, above, has agreed a deal for a fourth successive season while Swiderski rejoins the team for a third spell.

Hammers boss Jon Cook said: “Richard has been a stand-out rider for us, with his development being a real joy for our fans to witness, while Piotr had set his heart on being a Hammers rider again and to have him as number five in our averages gives us great strength in depth.”

Lawson said: “It’s great to be back at Arena. I enjoy the track and the fans have been brilliant since day one.”

Swiderski added: “I am so happy to be back as a Hammer. It’s my home team in England and I intend to give the fans my best every Friday.”
