It is with great delight that Ipswich Eagles CSC are pleased to welcome back Daniel Pike on a first registration from Leicester for the 2013 season.
Dan is certainly no stranger to the Suffolk Club having been a member for the last 10 years either under 1st or 2nd licence and having ridden for the Eagles in their inaugural 2011 Premier League season, only leaving to re-join Leicester last season in a tribute season to Wil Burns.
Dan comes into a stronger squad then when he was here last time, and will line up alongside fellow new signings, and former Leicester Team mate, Adam Peck and Brothers Chris & Lewis Osborne from Horspath.
The four new signings alongside existing Elite Team Squad members Leon Mower, Josh Brook, Jamie Chittock, Richard Williamson, Leigh Cossey, Ashley Hill, Lewis Roberts clearly shows the intent of the Eagles for the 2013 season especially when you also consider the up and coming young talent of Charlie Rumbold, Daniel Knights, Matt Hill, Richard Fellgett and of course the ever present British and European Champion Lauren Jacobs alongside club stalwarts Jordan Stant, Terry Gilbert Rolfe and Fraser Harris.
It’s fair to say that the Eagles definitely have both experience and strength in depth for this season along with youthful talent and hopefully this will see an improvement in form for both the senior team who although willing and capable lacked the back-up to really push on and finish teams off in 2012 and the Combination Team to help go that extra step and grab the title away from Horspath.
