The Plymouth Gladiators have gotten a jump start on their opposition by being the first team to sign a rider for 2026, and it’s a big one with Seven Times British Champion Scott Nicholls being the signing.
Nicholls made a huge impression on the Plymouth club as a mid-season signing this year, with the crowd responding in big numbers at the Coliusum towards the end of the season.
With the Promoters Conference taking place in early November, it remains to be seen if Plymouth and Scotty will be racing in the second-tier Championship again or if they will be part of a newly formed single league.
The full announcement from Plymouth is below:
The Plymouth Gladiators are delighted to announce that Scott Nicholls will be joining our side for the 2026 Speedway season.
A proven winner and one of British Speedway’s most respected riders, Scott brings a wealth of experience, leadership, and determination to the Gladiators campaign after joining mid way through the season of 2025.
We can’t wait to see him in Gladiators colours as we build towards an exciting new season on the track!
