Wightlink Warriors Name their 2025 Speedway Team

With the summer season just around the corner, the Wightlink Warriors management are delighted to announce their 2025 team that will compete across the summer in the team events.

The Wightlink Warriors will be led again by true Wightlink Warriors stalwart Arran Butcher. Arran has long been an island favourite participating in many different motorcycle classes. This year he is busier than ever with grass track, beach racing, NDL, NDT and now the Wightlink Warriors, but he is sure to turn on the style and pace at one of his favourite tracks.

Fans favourite Ben Morley returns to Smallbrook for another season. Ben has been a regular on the island for a while now and has always been part of the backbone for the team. Mr. Consistent home and away, fans are sure to be delighted with his return to the Wightlink Warriors.

Henning Loof, returns to bring his own German style back to the team in 2025. It is true to say that he really enjoyed his time last season and immediately asked to return. Popular on and off track he is always good value and great to watch.

Island born and bred, Morgan Williams is back in the team for 2025. Morgan, who came through the My First Skid School, has progressed from track team to main team pretty quickly. However, he has been out with a shoulder injury of late and will be looking to pick up on his excellent winter form to start bringing home some more points for his beloved Wightlink Warriors team.

Charlie Southwick, another from the My First Skid hall of fame, 15 years old, and really has caught the eye of the sport across the country. He is making good steady progress this season and will be busting to do well for the Wightlink Warriors this year.

Darryl Ritchings will be another fans favourite quickly. Returning to the island after a fabulous return to both speedway and grass track racing following a couple of excellent sessions at Smallbrook with My First Skid. Darryl’s having a great season, and we are delighted he is coming back to the island.

The rider list is not the riding order, and we will expand on the introductions to the riders in the coming days to give you further information about them. But for now, please welcome your 2025 Wightlink Warriors to Smallbrook.
