SHEFFIELD captain Kyle Howarth will celebrate his Testimonial in the opening fixture of the season at Owlerton.

The event will take place on Thursday, March 14 (7.30) as the 2024 Tru Plant Tigers take on a World Select.

Said Howarth: “It’s a great honour to be granted a testimonial and I want to thank the Sheffield promotion for allowing me to host my meeting at Owlerton.

“I’ve had a great time at Sheffield over the years and hopefully this season we can retain the league title for all the loyal Tigers fans.

“I have already started sorting details out for the meeting and I can promise you there will be some star names and lots of entertainment on the night.

“I have a good team of people working with me behind the scenes and we will release more news as soon as we can.

“I’m hoping all the fans turn out in numbers and have a great night.”

Admission details will be confirmed at a later stage and sponsorship opportunities for the event will soon be available.
