Champ to lead promotion push

Beverley have signed World Champion Richard Lewis to boost their bid to make an immediate return to division one. The recently relegated Hellcats spent a club record equalling £750,000 to land the 34 year old from sister club Fort William, Lewis making a return to the club he spent half of SL30 and the beginning of SL31 with.
