Title chasing Lakeside Hammers have confirmed the signing of Polish star Tomasz Jedrzejak for the rest of the season.

The Hammers, currently second on the Sky Sports Elite League, have have lost a clutch of riders to injury in recent weeks.

Adam Shields, Joonas Kylmakorpi, Jonas Davidsson and Lubos Tomicek have all been injured for Lakeside.

The latter two are set to return, but Lakeside needed extra cover and after failing to land Rune Holta, Matej Zagar and Pepe Protasiewicz, they have now turned to Jedrzejak.

Pleased

"Tomasz comes to us with a huge recommendation from several of his new team mates who think he is just the kind of rider who will slot into our set up," said co-promoter & team manager Jon Cook

"Now was not the time to bring in an untried new asset and as brilliant a job as riders like Ed (Kennett), Lewis (Bridger) and Rory (Schlein) have done for us in recent weeks, we don't want to take guest riders into the play-offs if we can avoid it.

"Tomasz will also be around for the Craven Shield Final at another track that should suit him, although I have seen him also have some impressive rides on small tracks and am sure two home league matches at the Raceway will be just what he needs to also be a force at home.

"With Jonas Davidsson set to make a return next Sunday in Poland we will soon have a team of Hammers to support in time for the 29th."

Jedrzejak is actually a Belle Vue Aces asset and he has been loaned to Lakeside.

But the Manchester outfit have refused to rule out a possible return for Jedrzejak next season.

"I was impressed by him in the GP Challenge. He is looking to come back to race in England next season and he is one of our options," confirmed Aces boss Chris Morton.
