Nick came over to start his UK speedway career last March riding at NL level for Buxton and what an impression he made right from the start.  Despite never having ridden the track before his first meeting, Nick hit the ground running and was quickly attracting a lot of attention for his assured displays, albeit at reserve.

It gave Glasgow a pleasant headache for when he turned 16 in the June and it was no great surprise that as soon as his 16th birthday came along, Nick was straight into the Tigers team.

Even at Premier Level and despite looking tiny compared to most of the opposition, Nick showed right from the start what an exciting talent he is, scoring a paid win in his first ride as a Tiger at Berwick.  Nick was one of the few bright spots to what was a poor season for the Tigers with his paid maximum coming against Edinburgh at the end of July and a superb race with Leigh Lanham in heat 11 of the Tigers meeting with Stoke which had the entire Glasgow support on their feet probably being the highlights

Nick  has been riding since he was 10 years old and took to speedway like a duck to water winning his first race in only his second ever outing. The only negative comment from his early days were that he perhaps showed a little too much aggression in his riding! At 13 he won the Ultimate Coaching Experience and spent 2 hours on a one to one basis with Jason Crump getting the benefit of his experience and useful advise and pointers.

Obviously Nick is still very young but there is no doubt that he is an exceptional talent and the season ahead promises to be an exciting and entertaining one for the youngster.
