Following on from yesterday’s revelation that 21-year-old Matt Saul will ride at reserve for the Wightlink Warriors in 2016, it has been announced that teenager Tyler Govier will take the second reserve spot at the club.
A thrilled 19-year-old Ty said:
“I am so stoked to be part of the Wightlink Warriors side for next season, a full season with a great club like the Isle of Wight is just what I need and now it’s push time in my speedway career.

“I have just brought a new engine I’m hoping to test early in the new year and I can’t wait to meet the rest of my team mates, management, sponsors and fans of the club. I’m really looking forward to a good year and I can’t thank the management enough for this opportunity.”
Commercial Director Barry Bishop commented:
“Martin Widman and I are really pleased to have Tyler in our 2016 squad. Talking with him has given me a clear picture of his targets for the year and I believe we can help him achieve them.
“We have had a lot of interest in terms of filling the number 6, 7 and 8 positions in our team and we are very close to finalising all three reserves. Martin and I understand the importance of the reserves this year and with Ty and Matt signed, I believe that once they’ve settled they will be a formidable reserve pairing at Smallbrook.”
