ACES BRING IN BAILEY

BELLE Vue have signed Connor Bailey to take their Rising Star position after Jake Mulford was ruled out with a broken leg.

Bailey, who held the No.8 berth with the Aces last season, will make his official debut in Monday’s Sports Insure Premiership match at Wolverhampton.

He said: “It is unfortunate circumstances how this opportunity has come about, but I must take it. This is a huge chance for me and one I am very much looking forward to.

“For me, this is very much a learning process. I’ve never competed at this level before, but I’ve seen a lot of the Premiership tracks and I feel very comfortable at the National Speedway Stadium.

“I’m looking at it as I do my Championship meetings. My first goal is to beat my equivalent on the opposing team, so their Rising Star, and anything else would be a bonus.”
