MORLEY FIRST FOR NDT NEWCOMERS

KENT Eagles have named former double NDL Riders’ Champion Ben Morley as the first signing for their entry into the 2025 National Development Trophy.

The 30-year-old has enjoyed several spells with the previous Kent side at both Central Park and the current Iwade venue, as well as appearing for Eastbourne in 2019.

Associate Michael Gray says the Sussex Eagles Motorcycle Club are excited to be able to expand their activities into league racing next year.

He said: “Having submitted an application to the Speedway authorities and subsequently being accepted into the newly formed National Development Trophy, we are both delighted and look forward to taking up and meeting that challenge head on in Season 2025.

“The team we intend will provide and combine a fine blend of both youth and experience, and this will offer the younger riders more track time with the older hands, and the valuable opportunity of learning from them and benefitting from their peers’ numerous collective years in the sport.”
