PLYMOUTH Speedway's National Development Trophy team, the Centurions, have been forced into a late change for the 2025 season with Chad Wirtzfeld forced to pull out due to work commitments.

However, team manager Barry Bishop has wasted no time in finding a replacement with Matt Marson coming in as his replacement.

It is a month until the new season gets underway at the Coliseum with the senior team Plymouth Gladiators welcoming Oxford Cheetahs on Saturday, April 19, while the Centurions have to wait until June 15 before they ride their first meet away to Kent Eagles.

The centurions then race at Birmingham Bulls on June 23 before their first meet at the Coliseum on June 28 where they will be led by Gladiators reserves Joe Thompson and Ben Trigger. Kai Ward, Charlie Southwick, Morgan Williams and Ryan Ingram make up the rest of the team.
