Rising roads star Dean Harrison has signed to ride for the Mar-Train Yamaha team in the three big international meeetings for 2014.

The youngster will race at next year's North West 200, Isle of Man TT and Ulster Grand Prix for the Ireland-based team after showing his mettle to take a Southern 100 Supersport win this season.

“We had a good year on a 600 Yamaha this season, but hopefully we can do a better job on what is definitely a stronger package with the Mar-Train bike. I’ve always wanted to stick with the same bikes that I was on, so the Mar-Train deal is perfect for me as they have so much more data and experience. Yeah hopefully we can have a good season," said Harrison.

Harrison will also take in the Southern 100 and Scarborough meetings with Mar-Train with some additional ad-hoc appearances to be discussed, and as soon as next week, the Northern Ireland team will be announcing his team-mate for 2014.
