Carrickfergus rider Glenn Irwin will remain with the Gearlink Kawasaki squad in the Motorpoint British Supersport Championship after signing a new one-year deal.

The youngster put in some attention-grabbing rides in 2014 with five race wins and then rounded it off with a brace of victories at the Sunflower Trophy last weekend along with the lap record and Man of the Meeting award.

"I am over the moon to have re-signed to ride for Gearlink Kawasaki. I feel that we have all the ingredients to make a strong Championship challenge. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Michael and Norma plus the entire Gearlink Kawasaki team. I would also like to thank my personal sponsors for all their help and support and big thanks go to all my fans for having faith in me,” he said.
