WOLVERHAMPTON have added club asset Joe Haines to their Elite League squad for this season.

Haines will spend the season on loan to Rye House but will be Wolves' No 8.

Club owner Chris Van Straaten said: "Joe did well at Workington last season and I know he was popular up there. This seems a logical move for both the rider and the club at this stage."

The 17-year-old is a former British Under-15 Champion.
