SECOND KILLEEN FOR CHARGERS

OXFORD Chargers have brought in Declan Killeen – elder brother of team captain Luke – for the final two fixtures of their NDL campaign.

Declan, 20, who replaces the injured Alex Spooner, will make his debut for Chargers at Oxford Stadium against league leaders Leicester Lion Cubs on Sunday afternoon (August 25), before also riding at Scunthorpe next Friday (August 30).

He said: “I’m going to take these meetings as a bit of a feeler. I haven’t ridden a bike competitively since March. I’ve practiced around Oxford and that’s gone quite well.

“I’m not placing too much expectation on myself, because I haven’t had time for loads of preparation, but I’d like to score a few points.

“I came over here to help Luke out and have a few rides after the meetings, but it’s all happened very fast and now I’m riding for Chargers. We’ll see what happens. Good things could happen from here – we’ll see what happens next year.”
