THE JOINT Scunthorpe and Sheffield National League side has announced that Hull-based Kean Dicken will ride for them in 2024.<\/p>\n
The 22-year-old joins Nathan Ablitt, Luke Harrison, Mickie Simpson and brothers Ace and Stene Pijper, as the Stags\/Prowlers have now announced six of their seven riders.<\/p>\n
Dicken\u2019s previous stint at this level saw him race for Belle Vue in 2018, although he was due to line up for Leicester in 2020 before that campaign was cancelled due to Covid. He had also lost out on a team place at Birmingham in 2017 when he suffered a broken leg on practice day.<\/p>\n
Scunthorpe promoter Rob Godfrey revealed: \u201cKean Dicken was outstanding in our amateur meetings at the Eddie Wright Raceway last year and I realised he should be riding in the National League and I said as much to him.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s been racing around Scunny since he was a little lad. He\u2019s always had the talent and he\u2019s still only in his early twenties, while he\u2019s probably now more ready to take on the league and show everyone what he can do.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s from Hull, and I\u2019m sure a few will make the journey across the Humber Bridge to see him racing for the Stags.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Godfrey insisted there would be no rush to sign the seventh and final rider for the team.<\/p>\n He added: \u201cWe\u2019re going to take our time. Any rider can come along to our training schools and know if they impress us enough, they can get in.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Scunthorpe Stags \/ Sheffield Prowlers 2024 confirmed starters:<\/strong> Words and Images by Scunthorpe Speedway<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" THE JOINT Scunthorpe and Sheffield National League side has announced that Hull-based Kean Dicken will ride for them in 2024.
