Hammers news round up

Ellis heads to the Island

Recent Hammers signing 16 year old Adam Ellis will continue to ride for National League side the Isle of Wight in  2013, as part of his speedway education, with the Hammers management keeping a close eye on his development.

Quoted in the Speedway Star, Hammers Team manager Neil Vatcher commented ” The first time I saw him was in a British Youth Round at Eastbourne in July and as soon as I saw him my eyes lit up and he looked something special.

At this stage of his career, I have to say that he’s by far the best I’ve seen by a country mile. He’s ridden a few meetings for the Isle of Wight and performed exceptionally well.  He’s basically had all the clubs in th National League chasing him, but we’ve agree with the Isle of Wight that he’ll ride again for them next year”.
