WORKINGTON boss Graham Drury believes the signing of Alan Mogridge could help the Comets towards a play-off place.

Mogridge, who retires at the end of the season, moved to Cumbria from Stoke earlier this month.

Drury said: ''Not only is Moggo a key rider for us with his on-track scores, his presence in the pits area has also given the rest of the boys a lift.''
