SHEFFIELD skipper Kyle Howarth has been ruled out of tonight’s (Monday, 7.30) Premiership trip to Wolverhampton.

The 29-year-old aggravated an injury whilst on Championship duty with Plymouth on Friday.

And despite originally being determined to battle through the pain barrier, Howarth admitted defeat shortly before he was due to set off to the West Midlands.

Rider replacement will now operate with David Bellego, Lewis Kerr and Dan Gilkes eligible to cover Howarth’s programmed outings.
