Lakeside Hammers have confirmed Ben Morley and Zach Wajtknecht as the top two who will lead their National League side in 2017.
The pairing join Alfie Bowtell and George Hunter in the Hammers line-up, with four of the seven team spots now in place.
Morley, 22, is no stranger to the Arena Essex Raceway after spells in 2014 and 2016 in the Elite League with the Hammers and won the National League Riders’ Championship only last year.
Meanwhile, 18-year-old Wajtknecht has three British League Gold medals to his name.
Club coach Kelvin Tatum said: “Ben and Zach are two solid performers at this level and we feel they’ll provide plenty of points from the top.
“Ben is a consistent, big hitting heat-leader in the National League and we’re predicting big things for Ben in the Lakeside race jacket in 2017.
“Zach already has some significant honours and achievements to his name and that means he’s already got a winning mentality drilled into him.
“We’re delighted with how the team is shaping up so far in what is an exciting new adventure for the Hammers.”
