Haines claims to be booked in

Teenage speedway prospect Joe Haines claims to be booked in as a double-up reserve with Wolves for 2010.
The Monmore asset, still only 18, is on loan to Premier League King’s Lynn next season after spells with Scunthorpe, Workington and Rye House.
The Parrys International Wolves have so far declared only Ty Proctor as a definite starter for next season.
But Haines, the former British under-15 champion, let the cat out of the bag during an interview with Radio Fremantle before racing to third place in the Woffy Westernapolis meeting at Pinjar Park, Perth.
He said: “I’m doubling up with Wolverhampton as well in the Elite League, doing both leagues in England.”
Haines’ 2009 season was wrecked by a dreadful accident in a world under-21 round at Rye House which left him in a halo brace for several weeks.
But the popular rider was back on track before the season ended, and managed to post a creditable 6.79 PL average with the Rockets.
