King’s Lynn Stars have moved quickly to strengthen their side ahead of next Monday’s ROWE Motor Oil Premiership trip to Belle Vue, with Jordan Jenkins set to join the club subject to BSPL approval.
The 24-year-old comes into the Stars line-up as a replacement for Paco Castagna and will slot into the reserve berth following the latest average changes, with Cooper Rushen moving into the main body of the team.
Jenkins recently impressed while guesting for King’s Lynn at Ipswich and brings valuable Premiership experience, having previously raced for Peterborough under current Stars boss Rob Lyon. He was also part of Ipswich’s title-winning side last season.
After a difficult start to the 2026 campaign, a move to Berwick has helped reignite Jenkins’ form, with the rider producing a string of impressive performances for the Bandits, including several double-figure scores on home shale.
Speaking to the King’s Lynn Stars website, Jenkins said:
“I’m delighted to be signing for King’s Lynn. I’ve hit a good bit of form recently, and I’m really enjoying my riding at the moment, so I’m looking forward to being back in the ROWE Motor Oil Premiership.
“I’d like to thank the management for giving me this opportunity, and I’m excited to get started and do my best for the club.”
Castagna departs the club after joining the Stars ahead of the current season. The Italian suffered an injury earlier in the year following a heavy crash at Edinburgh and has struggled to consistently score points, particularly around the Adrian Flux Arena.
The club thanked Castagna for his efforts and wished him well for the remainder of the campaign.
Jenkins is expected to make his King’s Lynn debut at Belle Vue on June 29, with his first home meeting scheduled against his former club Ipswich on July 2.
