HARRIS RELISHES OXFORD SWITCH

OXFORD newcomer Chris Harris says he is relishing the challenge ahead having signed up to join the latest stage of the Cowley club’s remarkable regeneration.

Harris will be part of the Spires line-up in the Sports Insure Premiership as top-flight speedway returns to the venue for the first time since 2007, as part of a package which sees them operate at all three levels this year.

He told oxfordspeedway.club: “Oxford is a track I’ve always enjoyed going to over the years.

“It’s a great shape, so to be a home rider now in the Premiership is very exciting for me – and we’ve found a good set-up which works for us in the last two years.

“I’m looking forward to seeing everyone trackside come March; a lot of supporters have asked me when am I going to come and ride for Oxford – which has been answered now!

“Now it’s down to myself and the team to deliver on track. I’m looking forward to working with Peter (Schroeck, Team Manager) who has a great background in the sport and always puts 100 per cent into the job he’s handed.”
