Paul Hurry is on the comeback trail after joining the Vortex Hammers.

The former Great Britain World Cup racer, 42, will make his National League bow in the trip to Stoke on Saturday before Sunday’s home meeting with Cradley Heath.

He replaces David Mason in the Vortex Hammers side after impressing in the early-season challenge match with Kent.

It’s a remarkable return for Hurry, who has had several seasons on the sidelines with a catalogue of injuries which appeared to have ended his career.

Now he will form a powerful triple spearhead with Ben Morley and Zach Wajtknecht in the Vortex Hammers side.

“I’m looking forward to helping a few of the lads progress on and off the track,” he said.
