WOLVERHAMPTON have released Polish youngster Lukasz Sowka with immediate effect and are set to make a new signing in time for Monday’s vital Elite League clash with neighbours Birmingham at Monmore.

Sowka once again failed to score in last night’s thumping defeat at the hands of Swindon and was told of the club’s decision after the meeting.

But Parrys International Wolves owner Chris Van Straaten insists it’s not necessarily the end of Sowka’s Monmore career.

He said: “We have been very loyal and supportive to Lukasz and we know there is a rider there because of the way he scores points and beats top opponents in his home country.

“I sincerely hope this is not the last we see of him in Wolverhampton colours but as a club we believe this is the right thing to do at this stage of the season.

“We will continue to watch Lukasz’s scores elsewhere and there may well be an opportunity to bring him back in the future. We will announce a new signing once we get the necessary approval from the British Speedway Promoters’ Association.”
