Chris ‘Bomber’ Harris has returned to Peterborough Panthers and he’s immediately been installed as skipper ahead of Monday night’s Premiership clash with Ipswich at the East of England Arena (7.30pm).

Harris, a three-time British champion who was part of the ‘Dad’s Army’ title success with Panthers in 2021, has moved from Leicester Lions in a swap deal with Richie Worrall making the reverse switch. The moves are subject to BSP approval.

Harris was also a driving force for Panthers last year with a number of memorable performances especially around the East of England Arena.

He made the switch to Leicester over the winter, but the Lions have now made their own changes following the suspension of Nick Morris.

Panthers team manager Rob Lyon said: “For us, it’s about trying to finish the season on a high, and last Monday’s defeat to Wolverhampton was a bit of a blow if I’m honest, especially to lose so heavily having won at King’s Lynn the previous Thursday.
