The former world under-21 number five has not ridden in the Elite League before and comes into the Witches side with a 5.0 point assessed average.
This means he is set to start in the team proper, although this will depend on the make-up of the rest of the side.
Mark Loram is the third confirmed starter, and Louis says he hopes to make public the rest of the team later this week.
