The Birmingham Brummies have added vastly experienced campaigner Matej Zagar to their side for 2025.
The 18-times Slovenian Champion is heading back to British Speedway, having last appeared for Belle Vue as part of their 2022 title winning team.
Zagar becomes the Brummies’ third signing alongside Tobiasz Musielak and Jason Edwards.
And CEO Nigel Tolley feels the 41-year-old still has plenty to offer.
“One thing that nobody can argue with is that Matej is an enormously talented speedway rider,” he said.
“He was a Grand Prix regular for over a decade in total and he won his national championships for 18 successive years – that takes some doing no matter who you are or who you are up against.
“When he last raced here a couple of years ago, he was very, very impressive around Belle Vue and he’s looking forward to tackling the away tracks in this league again.
“I’ve looked back at his previous scores around Birmingham the last time the club was in the top division and some of them are very eye-catching.
“I think Matej’s experience in the sport could count for a lot for this year’s team and hopefully, he and Tobi will form a solid spearhead.”
