REDCAR'S Jason Edwards has joined Premiership King's Lynn in a Rising Star role.
He will replace the injured Jack Thomas, who broke his wrists in a crash earlier this month. Stars team manager Alex Brady said: "Jason's a well-measured and well-calculated young man, and when I spoke to him he'd already been thinking about potentially riding in the Premiership and what it would mean for him. "He's come across really well, I'm very impressed with his attitude and he's a rider who's doing some good things at the moment, so I'm pleased to have him with us. "He's also very busy on his bike, which can only be good for us, and he will be in the team on Thursday. "Jake (Mulford) has some grasstrack commitments abroad which means he has to dash off early on Friday morning, so I felt it would be prudent to go with Jason for what's a really important match for us "“ we can't afford to take any chances."
