He will guest for David Howe, with rider replacement operating for Thomas Jorgensen.
Scorpions’ team manager Richard Hollingsworth said: “We’re sure that Anders can do a good job for us in tonight’s meeting at Somerset.
“He scored 14+1 for Rye House at Somerset in June, including two wins over Jason Doyle. That caught our eye, when it came to potential guests to use at the Oak Tree Arena.
“I want our riders to enjoy tonight’s meeting. We will fight for every point, but that’s what we always tend to do.
“I am confident of getting the result we need tonight, so that when the two teams return to Scunthorpe on Sunday, we have an excellent chance of clinching the aggregate victory and winning the Premier League title in front of our own fans”, Hollingsworth concluded.
