King’s Lynn Young Stars have confirmed highly rated youngster Ollie Binns as the latest addition to their National Development League line-up for the 2026 season.
The 15-year-old, who celebrated his birthday last September, is widely regarded as one of the most exciting prospects to emerge from the British Youth Championship in recent years. Binns has been a consistent front-runner in a fiercely competitive 250cc class over the past two seasons and made a strong impression after stepping up to 500cc machinery in 2025.
He gained valuable experience at the Adrian Flux Arena when he competed in the Young Stars’ Pride of the East meeting last October, scoring six points, before a guest outing for the Leicester Fox Cubs at Plymouth yielded 3+2 prior to an unfortunate final-ride crash that resulted in a broken collarbone. Now fully recovered, Binns is ready to take on his first full NDL campaign with the Young Stars.
Speaking to the King’s Lynn Speedway website, Binns said he is relishing the challenge ahead:
“I’m really looking forward to the season. It’s my first year in the NDL, so it’s an exciting new challenge and I’m keen to keep developing while contributing as much as I can to the team. I really enjoy riding at King’s Lynn and I’m grateful for the opportunity. There’s no pressure on me — I’ll just give it everything and hopefully score some important points.”
Young Stars manager Jason Pipe is delighted to have secured one of the country’s brightest young talents and believes the demanding Lynn circuit will aid Binns’ development. Pipe told the club’s website:
“Ollie could have chosen an easier track for his debut season, but he was happy to take on the challenge here. Once he gets his head around the Lynn track, it will make him a much better rider. He’ll come in at No.7, with no pressure on what he scores, and there will be plenty of support around him to help him enjoy his racing and develop.”
Binns becomes the latest confirmed member of the Young Stars’ 2026 squad, joining Jake Mulford and Kenzie Cossey, with further team news expected soon.
