BIRMINGHAM have named local lad Ashley Morris as their second signing for their planned new era in the Championship.
The Wolverhampton-born racer has agreed to join the Brummies after three seasons with Newcastle, having impressed at Perry Barr in a Challenge fixture in September.
Co-promoter David Mason said: “I’d only seen him a couple of times before to be honest with you but in that challenge meeting, for me he was one of the standout riders.
“He scored nine paid 11 and he beat some damn good riders such as Ricky Wells and Paul Starke. So that bodes well going forward and I’ve heard plenty of good things about his attitude and the way he adapts himself off the track too.
“He’s coming off the back of a solid season for both Wolverhampton in the Premiership and Newcastle in the Championship and I’m sure he’ll prove to be a popular signing.”
PLEASE NOTE: The move to join the 2019 Championship is subject to official entry criteria being completed and logged with the BSPA Head Office.
