“I never really had any thoughts about looking elsewhere because I was so happy there and I’m looking forward to getting back there next year.
“The team looks great. We look strong but we know leagues aren’t won on paper, we have to do it out there on track. I’m looking forward to another big year with Sheffield.”
Club co-promoter Peter Mole is delighted to see Holder teaming up with British Champion Adam Ellis at the top end of the team.

“In Jack Holder and Adam Ellis we’ve got two riders who were excellent for Sheffield in 2021.
“They’re already crowd favourites and for me they can only continue to improve.”
Mole will be present at the next STAARS meeting which takes place tonight at the New Barrack Tavern on Penistone Road.

“There’s the opportunity for supporters to purchase season tickets as well and it’s going to be good to have one final catch up before Christmas.”
