The 19 year old will become the first name on the Hellcats team sheet following his £3/4million move to the club, a third heat leader behind aging duo Richard Lewis and his Swedish compatriot Fredrik Alquist on paper, but he’ll be Baker’s main man from now on. Lang has already earned success while on loan at Houston, winning the division one league title while riding on loan for the Scots in SL34, a club he also has a European Cup winners medal with and appeared in a KO Cup final for. All at the age of just 17. He returned to Kelvedon last season, where he earned an average of 7.44 in division three, while also riding to podium finishes in both the finals of the WU19 and WU21 championships. In order to facilitate Lang’s big money switch back to the top flight, Beverley have had to let 22 year old Samuel Strickland move in the opposite direction, the SL34 BU21 Champion lining up at reserve for Rhondda—who have taken on the Kelvedon franchise in it’s entirety—in SL36. Strickland already has 126 league appearances to his name despite his relative youth, however having averaged 5.78 three seasons ago for the Hellcats, he hasn’t fulfilled his early career promise just yet. There are changes too at Beverley’s sister club Fort William, having just avoided relegation last season the Wildcats have brought experienced heat leader Fredrik Ren in from Bolsover for a second spell at the club, the now 32 year old costing the club £300,000, they let him go for a third of that figure four years ago.
