Workington Comets have confirmed Mason Campton as their first signing of the 2015 season.

Mason Campton

The popular Aussie re-signed for next year after an inconsistent start in his debut Comets season.

Campton originally signed for Workington at the end of 2012 but was unable to ride the following year due to visa problems. He picked up the award for most bonus points at the clubs end-of-season presentation night last Friday.

And on his current 4.55 average, Comets management has a possible reserve berth in mind.

Laura Morgan, owner, said: It was an absolute no-brainer. I just think hes a steal on that average for next year.

He was only 20 when he came and it took him time to settle in. We would to like to put together a team with him beginning at reserve. He would be pretty untouchable from there.

A Comets asset, Campton has had an inconsistent year but shown glimpses of his potential with battling displays. Morgan and her fellow co-promoters Steve Whitehead and Tony Jackson will be hoping to coax more of that out of him in the new year.

Morgan added: He has matured a lot this year. He was one of the first names on the teamsheet. There was no question about having him back, hes here on his own merit.
