The 7th and final rider to make up the 2020 Monarchs is definitely a 'well kent face' in Perth born William Lawson, with the soon to be 32 year old as geared up as ever to make what will be the second full season of his return to the sport a success from the get go.

Young Australian Kye Thomson will make his debut in British Speedway this season in Edinburgh's colours.

Monarchs' new signing Lasse Fredriksen will be the first Norwegian in the UK for some time, following in the footsteps of Reidar Eide and Oyvind Berg in our colours – though they joined more than half a century ago!
