Popular rider Darren Mallett has been named as King's Lynn Young Stars' number one for next season.

Mallett will begin his 10th year at the Norfolk Arena after he completed his comeback from a broken leg at the end of the 2012 campaign.

A string of impressive performances convinced Young Stars team boss Dale Allitt his main man can still produce the goods in the National League.

Allitt said: 'He's been part of the fixtures and fittings at Lynn. He's easy going, brings lots of qualities and I'm sure the news will please all of the Stars fans.'

Mallett, who is the fifth rider of the Young Stars' line-up to be announced, will start 2013 on an average of 7.5.
