SWINDON have signed talented Kiwi Bradley Wilson-Dean in a dramatic team change.The Abbey Stadium side have been forced to scrap plans to bring in Danish youngster Mikkel B Andersen because his assessed average was higher than club officials expected and took the team over the points limit.Wilson-Dean says he can’t wait for the season to start now he’s got his wish of a top flight team place as well as doubling-up with SGB Championship club Peterborough.“I’m stoked to be given this opportunity at Swindon,” he said. “I was disappointed not to be back at Somerset but I know speedway is a numbers game. It went against me at Somerset but I guess it’s in my favour now at Swindon.“I like the place having ridden there towards the end of the season. I think it’s the right move for me and doubling up with Peterborough will be perfect and it means I will have more time on the bike.”
