The Birmingham Brummies have won the race to sign former Australian Under-21 Champion Keynan Rew.
The arrival of the Aussie is a massive coup for the Brummies after he opted to leave Ipswich ahead of the 2025 ROWE Motor Oil Premiership campaign.
Rew made his debut in British Speedway two years ago and helped the Witches reach the Grand Final at the end of that term.
He returned to the Suffolk side this year and held the proud feat at the end of the season for the most improved average in the league.
With Tobiasz Musielak, Matej Zagar and Jason Edwards already named by the Brummies, CEO Nigel Tolley feels their latest signing is yet another statement of intent.
“To be able to lure someone away from a club like Ipswich says a lot about our objectives for 2025 and where we want to be ourselves as a club,” Tolley said.
“Keynan is one of the most highly rated riders out of those in their early-twenties and anyone who has seen him race for Ipswich over the last couple of years will know exactly why.
“His first season was, unsurprisingly, a big learning curve over here for him, but you saw all of that learning put into practice throughout 2024 with the Witches where he was absolutely excellent.
“We found that out a couple of times, especially when he scored 13+2 against us at Perry Barr in the Knockout Cup!
“He has developed and improved so much in his first two years and we have high hopes that that trajectory will continue with the Brummies in 2025.”
A reminder that Season Tickets are now on sale. They can be purchased online via birmingham-speedway.com/admission or alternatively, supporters can purchase from the Speedway Office in the Perry Barr pits each Sunday throughout December and January between 10am and 2pm.
