Speedway: Tomasz Jedrzejak signs for Lakeside Hammers
Last updated on .From the section MotoGP
Lakeside Hammers have added Poland international Tomasz Jedrzejak to their side until the end of the season.
The 32-year-old has had spells at Lakeside in 2008 and 2009 and has also ridden for Eastbourne Eagles.
"He's a very good rider around Lakeside," captain Lee Richardson told BBC Essex.
Jedrzejak will only feature for the Hammers if they finish in the play-off spots, something which is now out of their hands.
Third-placed Lakeside have finished their regular season, while Coventry, who are four points adrift, have two meetings remaining.
"Tomasz can ride on away tracks as well so I think he's a big plus for the club," Richardson added.
"The atmosphere within the team's fantastic, there are no big egos in our team which makes a big difference.
"We've probably come into form a bit late in the season, but Coventry did that last year and went into the play-offs and won the title," he added.
"We've got to get there first but if everyone can raise their game a bit there's no reason we can't progress through."
