The Weymouth Weyline 777 777 Wildcats are very pleased to announce the next two signings for their quest for honours in this years National Development League. Taking the number two race jacket will be Eastbourne based Garry Cottham who comes to Weymouth on a free transfer from Rye House. 21 year old Garry sat out most of last season after breaking his arm early on and subsequently losing his place in Mildenhall’s team. He did enough though to gain himself a 5.59 average. Garry shone when representing the Isle of Wight in 2007 at the Wessex Stadium joint top scoring for his side whilst taking the scalps of both Lee Smart and Jay Herne. Cottham follows in his fathers footsteps as Garry senior used to ride for Canterbury Crusaders in the seventies.
Taking one of the reserve berths will be 27 year old Nick Lee from Swindon. Nick started his speedway career in 2000 and rode for the Swindon Sprockets for four seasons before taking a break from the sport to concentrate on his plastering business. Family man Nick has been a regular at the winter training schools along with his wife Charlotte and children Bobbie and Jessica showing enough potential for team manager Jem Dicken and Chairman Phil Bartlett to offer him a place in the Wildcats side. Dicken says he reminds him of former Wildcat Sam Hurst, with his all action bustling style and is sure he will be a fans favourite.
Since 2006 Nick has been acting as mechanic for friend and mentor Richie Hawkins of the Somerset Rebels and would like to thank him and Tom Browns dad Terry for their help and support.
Chairman Phil Bartlett is pleased with both acquisitions and is confident that they will compliment the top four nicely. Both will be in action at this weeks training session on Saturday (6th Feb) between 12 and 4 where they would be happy to meet any potential sponsors.
