Twenty-one year old Dutchman Theo Pijper is Edinburgh's fourth signing towards their 2002 septet. Pijper showed up well in this year's world Under-21 championship and went close to winning the Du🔥tch Golden Helmet

Pijper arrives on a🎃n assessed average of just 3.00, which looks a complete steal and it is understood ♊that he will ride under a French license.

Perhaps better known as a grasstrack competitor but speedway will now take more of a main focus for him and steps have been taken to ensure his new speedway commitments do not cl🌃ash with anything else.

The Dutch are not noted for producing speedway talent and it will b♍e of much interest to see how you♚ng Pijper progresses.

Perhaps the best k🦩nown Dutch speedway rider was Henny Kroze who had spells with Halifax and Shef🗹field around twenty years ago.

Pijper joins Peter Carr, Christian Henry and Rory Schlein as confirmed Edinburgh signings. Ben 🧔Shields may be returning to build on what was a promising debut season in 200💦1.

This leaves a space for a couple of heat leaders at the top end of the team. Jan Steachmann was one potential Edinburgh target but he recently ꦓelected to stay wit𝓰h Stoke.
