Centurions are complete

The Plymouth Centurions National Development Trophy team is complete and will be led by Gladiators regular Joe Thompson and local favourite Ben Trigger.

The Centurions have also announced the signings of Chad Wirtzfeld and Kai Ward, along with three newcomers to regular league racing.

They will track Charlie Southwick, Morgan Williams and Ryan Ingram, the latter having also signed for Leicester along with Trigger in the parallel NDL competition.

The Team Manager will be the Isle of Wight Promoter Barry Bishop, who commented;

“It’s been hard to keep this under wraps for a while now but when Mark Phillips said he was entering a National Trophy side and asked if I would consider being Team Manager, it was a challenge too good to refuse.

One thing I am very passionate about is rider development, and I’m delighted to be able to continue to work with Joe, Morgan, Ben, Kai, Ryan, Charlie and Chad. 

This team has the foundation of an excellent side where all the riders can improve their averages and development – youth and experience.

I’m really looking forward to meeting all the Plymouth fans and staff at our home meetings and to be back on the road at our away matches at Workington, Kings Lynn, Birmingham, and Kent.

I’m thankful to Mark for the opportunity and now cannot wait to get going.

This appointment doesn’t affect my responsibilities on the Isle of Wight and I hope that I can use all the things I will learn at Plymouth Gladiators Speedway on the Island during the season.

So now it’s time to get the show on the road and look forward to Press and Practice Day.
