Rick Taylor starts his new job at Budweiser League leaders London Towers today after leaving Manchester Giants, writes Duncan Hooper.

The American, who masterminded the Giants' English record crowd of 12,400 against London Leopards last year, takes over as managing director of Towers at the high point of their season so far, as they prepare to face Worthing Bears in the 7-Up League Trophy final in Birmingham on Saturday week.

The owner of the London Towers, Barrie Marshall, said: "Rick's track record of success and experience will, I am sure, take us on to another level of achievement."
