MARSON RETURNING TO MILDENHALL

MILDENHALL have moved to bring back former favourite Matt Marson as cover for Alex Spooner who is sidelined with a shoulder injury.

Marson last rode for the Fen Tigers in 2019 and has recently returned to the UK to attend the wedding of his friend Cameron Heeps, having originally planned to be back with the club two years ago.

He said: “Obviously the global pandemic changed everything, and it was frustrating that I couldn’t come back over especially after having a great season back home – including scoring a maximum to win the King of Pinjar at the turn of the year – that was a big one for me.

“All in all it’s been a successful spell back Down Under, and it’s great now that travelling restrictions have been relaxed and I’m back here in the UK.

“I’m staying with Shane Henry and his family in West Row and I already had bikes and a van at Josh Bailey’s, so I’m fully set up to ride – and with Mildenhall facing an injury crisis, I’m very happy to respond to the club management’s request for help and I’m ready to go.”
