SHEFFIELD have completed their 2026 team by retaining Australian Josh Pickering for a fourth consecutive season at Owlerton.
Pickering, who will also race for Championship Scunthorpe, joins forces with Jack Holder, Chris Holder, Anders Rowe, Leon Flint and Jye Etheridge, plus new Rising Star Luke Killeen, in what is a largely unchanged Tigers team. Team manager Simon Stead said: “Everybody knows my thoughts on Picko by now and we’re over the moon to keep him for another year. “He’s all-action on track, he’s established himself as an out-and-out heat-leader in the top-flight and he’s a brilliant captain to have. “There’s no doubt about it, we’re going to need him to maintain a similar level of performance this season, if not keep improving, and there’s no reason why he can’t do that.”
