RYE House have signed Davey Watt and Chris Harris as they gear up for their first season in the SGB Premiership.

The Rockets, who unveiled former Belle Vue skipper Scott Nicholls earlier this week, will also include former Pirates captain Watt and British star Harris.

Australian ace Watt, who had a tough 2016 campaign at Poole and then Leicester, will return to the Hertfordshire-based club more than a decade after his last spell there.

Rye House co-promoter Steve Jenson said: “Davey actually came to us last season asking if we could help him get a Premier League place.

"That didn’t prove possible, but he also wanted to be part of Team BMR for 2017 regardless of which league we were in.

“He’s such a long established rider in this country – we’re talking 15 years now – and he’s become a permanent resident, which effectively makes him an honorary Brit and ideal for the team spirit we want to build in 2017.

“He is also absolutely determined to get back to where he should be. We believe he’s on a false average and is going to push the rest of the top end to give us another potential number one.”
