Bagpuss 10,846 Posted November 30, 2013 (edited) No doubt it'll come down to the £'s in the end but I'd imagine every EL side is after him to ride in their top five. Edited November 30, 2013 by Bagpuss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,835 Posted December 1, 2013 No doubt it'll come down to the £'s in the end but I'd imagine every EL side is after him to ride in their top five. In the top 5 , really?? Sign as an asset maybe but not to ride in the top 5. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,846 Posted December 1, 2013 Why not? He's going to have the beating of nearly all of the reserves and he'll allow 29 points for a top four. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NeilWatson 1,995 Posted December 1, 2013 COVENTRY have swooped to sign fast-rising teenager Kyle Howarth to complete their top five for next season.The 19-year-old from Greater Manchester joins the Buildbase Bees after spells in the Elite League with Poole and Swindon in 2013.He became a Workington asset in a recent switch from Poole and will be racing for the Comets in the Premier League whilst doubling-up with the Bees in the top flight.Howarth is widely regarded as one of Great Britain’s best emerging talents, and it was a major surprise when he was released by the Pirates as part of their raft of mid-season changes last season.However, he continued to show rapid improvement during his time with Swindon, averaging 5.14 from his 13 matches in Robins colours – and, most strikingly, his away-match average was over six.He also made a highly impressive guest appearance for the Bees in their final Elite League fixture of 2013, scoring paid-11 against King’s Lynn.Promoter Mick Horton said: “There’s no doubt that Kyle is one of the most sought-after youngsters in the sport, and we’re delighted to have signed him.“Poole had originally announced he would be in their team but he hadn’t signed a contract with them, and it became very apparent when he spoke to me that he wanted to join Coventry.“We had no hesitation in making a move for him, we’re delighted to have him and I’m very pleased with our top five overall – it looks very strong.”Howarth joins Hans Andersen, Chris Harris, Ryan Fisher and Kenneth Hansen in the Coventry top five, with the reserves to come from the list of draft riders circulated last week. Each club will include two British youngsters in those positions, and selections will take place on Tuesday. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
