CHEETAHS MOVE FOR HEEPS

CAMERON Heeps has become the third former Kent rider to make the move to Championship newcomers Oxford next season.

Heeps joins Scott Nicholls and Troy Batchelor in signing for the Cowley club, and he believes it will prove to be the perfect move as the Cheetahs return after 14 years out of the sport.

Said Heeps: “Oxford was my number one choice when I heard the club was returning under Jamie (Courtney) and I am thrilled to be part of the club’s return.

“I wasn’t even a teenager when the Cheetahs last raced, but I still understand the club’s history and what speedway means to the people of Oxford. Jamie and I developed a good friendship during lockdown, and we quickly reached an agreement once the club’s return had been confirmed.

“He’s putting together a squad capable of challenging for top honours and I’m excited to be involved.”
