Twenty-one year old Dutchman Th👍eo Pijpജer is Edinburgh's fourth signing towards their 2002 septet. Pijper showed up well in this year's world Under-21 championship and went close to winning the Dutch Golden Helmet

Pijper arrives on an𓆏 assessed average of just 3.00, which looks a complete steal and it is understood that he will ꦆride under a French license.

Perhaps better known as a grasstrack competitor butꦜ speedway will now take more of a main focus for him and steps have been taken to ensure his new speꦬedway commitments do not clash with anything else.

The Dutch are not noted for producing speedway talent and it will be of much interest to see h🥃ow young Pijper progresses.

Perhaps the bes💃t known Dutch speedway rider was Henny Kroze who had spells with Halifax and Sheffield around 🗹twenty years ago.

Pijper joins Peter Carr, Christian Henry and Rory Schlein as confirmed Edinburgh signings. B🏅en Shields may be returning to build on what was a promising debut season in 2001.

This leaves a space for a couple of heat leaders at𓄧 the top end of the team. Jan Steachmann was one potential Edinburgh target but he recently elected to stay with Stoke.
