COVENTRY are pleased to confirm British Under-19 Champion Stefan Nielsen is signing for the club as a full asset. Nielsen, who races for the City Gearboxes Storm as No.1, joins from Scunthorpe with the deal for team-mate Oliver Greenwood also complete. The agreement reached between promoter Mick Horton and his Scorpions counterpart Rob Godfrey also sees Josh Auty move to the Eddie Wright Raceway on a full transfer. Auty was part of the Buildbase Bees’ title-winning squad in 2010 but found his opportunities at Brandon limited due to the form of other riders, and he then spent two years with Birmingham but this season is racing in the Premier League only at Scunthorpe. Horton said: “These are good deals for the club and I really feel these youngsters are the future. Stefan is getting better and better, and Olly was sensational at Peterborough on Tuesday when he scored a paid maximum. “You can see from the system we have, with the Storm and with Peterborough in the Premier League, through to the Elite League, the progression is there and riders want to come to us, which is fantastic to know.” The Buildbase Bees are next in action at Brandon on Friday with a terrific local derby in prospect against Leicester. Full team news to follow tomorrow.
