Our second signing is …

He may currently be enjoying summer Down Under but Nick Morris already has his sights set on the Borders come April.

Yes the Aussie speedster is the second confirmed signing for your 2026 Berwick Bandits, joining Great Dane Peter Kildemand in our Championship one to seven.

Nick began his second spell as a Bandit – he capped his 2017 stint with us by lifting the Premier League Riders’ Championship – in August, recruited as a replacement for Craig Cook.

Despite an enforced two-year absence and giving the rest of the league a four month head start the all-action Aussie was back among the points, especially at Shielfield Park, a track that really suits him. In all he rode seven meetings for us, scoring 49 points.

But his average did dip to 6.86 as he found his feet after so long out of the saddle and the 31-year-old will be considered a “steal” on that figure.

Nick’s season ended dramatically with a big crash racing for Sheffield in the Premiership play-off semi-final but he is now fully recovered and ready to spend our winter racing in his homeland so that he will be race fit when the 2026 British season rolls around.
