The Poole Pirates have announced their intention to track British 500cc Youth Champion William Cairns when he turns 16 \u2013 on a deal which will also include the 2026 season.<\/p>\n
Hot prospect Cairns will be eligible to race in the Cab Direct Championship from his birthday on June 29, with the Pirates stating they will make a temporary signing at No.7 to cover the opening three months of the forthcoming campaign.<\/p>\n
Promoter Dan Ford said: \u201cWilliam Cairns is undoubtedly one of the hottest prospects in British Speedway, and we are thrilled to have secured his commitment to the Pirates for the next 18 months. <\/em><\/p>\n \u201cWith multiple clubs vying for his signature, it speaks volumes that William has chosen Poole as the place where he feels he can best develop and improve in this crucial stage of his career.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cUnfortunately, he won\u2019t qualify for a league racing licence until he turns 16 on June 29, so we\u2019ll begin the season without him. <\/em><\/p>\n \u201cBut we know he\u2019s eagerly counting down the days, and when that moment comes, our supporters will undoubtedly give him the warmest of welcomes at Wimborne Road. We\u2019re proud to be a part of William\u2019s journey and can\u2019t wait to see what he can achieve with the Pirates.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Words and Feature Image by British Speedway<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Poole Pirates have announced their intention to track British 500cc Youth Champion William Cairns when he turns 16 \u2013 on a deal which will also include the 2026 season.
