Chris Holder will line up for a third consecutive full season with the Sheffield Tigers in 2026.<\/p>\n
The former World Champion first linked up with the Tigers late in 2023 and played a major part in their Premiership title triumph that year. Since then, the Australian star has remained a cornerstone of the side across the last two campaigns.<\/p>\n
For 2026, Holder returns to join younger brother Jack Holder, plus Anders Rowe, Leon Flint and new Rising Star Luke Killeen on the Tigers\u2019 confirmed team sheet.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the Sheffield Speedway website, team boss Simon Stead said:<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone knows what Chris is about by now and he\u2019s still a class act.<\/em><\/p>\n
\u201cThis year, he\u2019s coming back in on a 6.84 which is an absolute bargain for someone of his quality.<\/em><\/p>\n
\u201cWhen he\u2019s on it, he\u2019s on it and that was most evident when he scored that paid maximum in our last home meeting of the season against Ipswich.<\/em><\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s had that little setback by not competing in the Aussie Championships because of the injuries he sustained just before they were due to get going – but he\u2019ll be back and I think we\u2019ll see another solid season from Chris.<\/em><\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s brilliant to have around the pits, he gets on well with the rest of the lads and he\u2019s a big team player.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
