BEN Morley has joined the Isle of Wight as the club’s new No.1 for the 2018 National League campaign.
Morley rode for Lakeside this year and will continue to represent the Hammers for their move up to the SGB Championship – but he joins the Warriors on a 9.49 average as one of the third tier’s established top men.
Team manager Jackie Vatcher said: “The signing of Ben will probably surprise some people as the Island has not been one of his favourite tracks in the past, but when he guested for Mildenhall towards the end of last season, he rode the track the best we have seen him and won three of his five rides.
“When we heard that Lakeside were to move up to the Championship, we again spoke to Ben with the agreement of his parent club Rye House and to our delight it didn't take long to agree a deal.
“The whole National League knows what an outstanding rider he is in this division, and we hope this move, in addition to his rides for Lakeside, will help Ben become a more all-round rider in 2018.” link
