KENT Eagles have added highly rated 15-year-old Jamie Etherington to their National Development Trophy line-up as league racing returns to Iwade in 2025.
Etherington, a former Kent Kings mascot at Central Park, finished second behind Will Cairns in this year’s British Youth Championship and also raced the second half of the NDL season with Scunthorpe/Sheffield.
Club owner Dave Graveling said: “We regard Jamie’s signing as a very exciting one for the Kent Eagles, and one that fits perfectly with the rider development aspect that we are looking to achieve.
“With Ben Morley already recruited and now Jamie set to become an important member of the side, I believe that these two signings emphasise what we are about with the more experienced members helping to bring the youngsters on.
“With more surprises in store and signings set to unfold in the run up to the festive season, we are already looking forward to an enjoyable and successful 2025 campaign in the National Development Trophy.”
