The Plymouth Gladiators have announced the the signing of 24 year old Australian rider Mitchell Cluff for the 2025 GB Championship season.
Cluff who hails from Blackalls Park in New South Wales has built an excellent reputation in his homeland in recent seasons and was recently Crowned the 2024 South Australian Speedway Champion by beating a good quality field at famous Gillman Speedway on the 30th November.
Mitchell has Global Speedway experience representing Australia at Under 21 level on a number of occasions and spent the 2024 European Summer season riding for Czestochowa in the Polish Under 24 League where he impressed many observers in his third season at that level.
Mark Phillips, the Plymouth Gladiators Owner and Promoter and Team Manager Gary May are delighted to have secured the services of Cluff for his debut season in the British Championship League.
Phillips is clearly buoyant to have signed the newcomer-;
“This is a deal that Gary and myself have been working on behind the scenes for quite a while and we believe that Mitchell is a newcomer to British Speedway who can make a significant impact for us in the present and in the future.
“He has had an excellent grounding in the Polish Under 24 League over the past 3 seasons; riding for a very professional Club in Poland and that experience and his maturity and enthusiasm allied with his clear ability to adapt to being away from his homeland; will stand him in great stead on his first venture into British Speedway.
“We very much look forward to working with Mitchell; and are sure that our wonderful supporter base will welcome his arrival with a little bit of surprise but growing excitement; when they look at his progress and pedigree in the past few seasons. We believe that we have signed one of the best newcomers to UK Speedway in the past few seasons.”
