BIRMINGHAM have pulled off the signing of reigning British Champion Adam Ellis.
The 26-year-old, who won the National League with the club in 2015, has agreed to join the Curtis Sport Brummies and completes their side for the coming season.
However, due to a prior league commitment in France this weekend, Birmingham have named Ben Morley as a member of their team for Saturday's (March 26, 7pm) Knockout Cup clash at Leicester.
But after weeks of negotiations, team boss Laurence Rogers is thrilled and relieved to finally get his man.
Said Rogers: "It really is amazing news for the club.
"Adam was always on our list of potentials but we had to wait for a few things to fall into place.
"We hit a few pitfalls along the way and we've had to be patient with one or two things, but he's a Brummie again and that's all that matters.
"He's a top quality rider at this level and to bring the British Champion to Birmingham is big, big news."
The 2022 Curtis Sport Brummies take to the Perry Barr circuit for the first time this afternoon (Wednesday, March 23) for their Press and Practice session with public admission from 1.45.
The club's pre-season talk-in takes place at the Aston Manor Cricket Club tonight (7.30) with a minimum £1 donation to the Birmingham Speedway Supporters Club required to gain admission.
