Howe voted Wolves rider of year

David Howe has been named Wolverhampton's rider of the year after edging out new Grand Prix star Freddie Lindgren.

The award was made at the club's presentation dinner which was once again sold out at the Park Hall Hotel in the city.

Votes were cast through the club's official website and Howe was overjoyed with the award.

He said: "This time last year I told Chris Van Straaten (Wolves owner) that I wanted to go into the Premier League and ride for Edinburgh.

"To be fair to him, Chris said he still had faith in me and brought me back to Wolverhampton and now I have won this award it's an amazing feeling.

"I'm delighted with the way it's all come together for me and hopefully I can build on this next year when I want to be back at the club."

William Lawson won the club's young rider of the year and most entertaining rider awards.
