| Coventry Bees have brought back Kyle Howarth for the remainder of the Elite League season. Promoter Mick Horton said to the Bees website: “We knew that the team needed a pick-me-up, so to speak, and we knew that realistically we needed to make a change. “The concern with Robbo was over whether he was going to get back to proper fitness in time, and we believe a change is best at this stage. “I’ve had in-depth conversations with Kyle over the last couple of weeks, and a long chat with him today. “We both agreed that mistakes were made (in the past), but it was evident at the start of the conversation that he wanted to come back to the club, we want him back and he wants to put pen to paper for next year as well. “It strengthens the team, the other riders are happy that he’s a good addition, and another factor is that he’ll have a point to prove against Swindon. He rode for them, he knows their track well and the way it’s looking we could be against them in the play-offs. “Kyle appreciates that the crowd are still behind him and still rate him, and he wants to come back and score plenty of points. “I want to thank Stuart for his efforts, he’s still a part of the club and we very much hope to still see him at the stadium and at the dinner-dance. “Stuart is a professional and I think he knew it was on the cards. It’s nothing against him at all, but we had some points to play with and things have looked a little stale over the last couple of meetings, so I think the time is right.” |
