Island home-grown talent, Morgan Williams, is joining the Wightlink Warriors for the 2024 season. Morgan, who has progressed through each stage of rider development, will make his home debut on June 27, when the Wightlink Warriors take on Cradley in the first round of the Vince Mapley Trophy.
Team manager, Steve Piper, said: “Morgan has progressed from My First Skid to the Wightlink Wizards. He has improved his approach to race day and stepped in when we needed a rider for the Warriors. His efforts, enthusiasm and all-round ability deserves a place on the team full time. Morgan is an example who young riders starting out can look up to, knowing that you can achieve your goals and dreams in speedway on the Island.”
Morgan said, “It’s an absolute pleasure to be asked to ride for the Warriors in 2024.
“I’m glad to have now reached a level where I can accept a spot for my local team, racing at the venue that I was introduced to the sport at, raked the shale at, and learned to ride a speedway bike at. It means a lot to be the first Isle of Wight-born rider to represent the Island at this level. A massive thank you to my sponsors and supporters for helping me realise this possibility.”
