KING SINGS WITH PLYMOUTH

PLYMOUTH have signed a second former British Champion with the news that Danny King will join Scott Nicholls as their spearhead in 2026.
King makes the move to the Coliseum after spending the last three seasons at Championship level with Redcar, who he helped to success in the BSN Series Final last month to add to his achievement in captaining Ipswich to the top-flight title.

Gladiators promoter Mark Phillips said: “Danny is a consummate professional with an outstanding record over many seasons. His presence, together with Scott, will ensure an outstanding degree of experience and mentorship for our younger riders, together with an inbred winning mentality that is frankly priceless.

“I do have to reflect on the fact that the incredible upsurge in support and enthusiasm in and around the club in the past six months has been a massively significant factor in us being able to recruit both Danny and Scott, and the buzz and excitement that our fanbase, new and old, has created is something that we can all be very proud of.
“It is something we wish to carry forwards and energise to even greater heights in 2026, off the track, and with the team we are building on the track too.”
