Dan Stewart will compete at T.T. with SMT Racing for a second year.
The former Privateer's Champion had two top 10 results with the team at the 2013 meeting and recorded a personal best lap of 129.077mph in the Superbike Race.
The Cumbrian will have a full array of machinery at his disposal as he looks to add to his impressive tally of 18 top 10 finishes.
Stewart will compete in the Superbike, Supersport, Superstock and Senior races.
He says the deal has come about late in the day.
He's delighted to have some continuity for his T.T. ambitions and can't wait to get the new season underway:-
