Rory Schlein to see out GB career with Wolverhampton Wolves
Experienced racer Rory Schlein admits he’s thrilled to be spending his final year in British Speedway with Wolverhampton.
The Parrys International Wolves skipper is back with the Monmore men for a fourth straight season, joining fellow Aussie Ryan Douglas on the teamsheet so far. The news comes just a couple of weeks after Schlein announced his 20th season in Britain will be his last.
And the 35-year-old has told how he never thought of joining any other top-flight side.
Now he aims to go out with a bang with a club he says he huge amounts of respect for.
“It was so easy to get the deal done,” Schlein said. “There were no ifs or buts or any long discussions really, I just saw the dotted line and signed away.
“When a rider gets comfortable and knows how a team and a club operates they just feel settled.
“That’s how I feel at Wolves and it’s just got such a good vibe.
“The club suits me well and I have a great relationship with Pete (Adams – team manager) and Chris (Van Straaten – promoter).
“It’s always been a pleasure to ride at Wolves, even as an away rider, and to spend what will be my final year in British Speedway there will be great.
“I know I’ll be able to enjoy myself being back there and hopefully myself and the team can find a little bit more consistency.
“I’m really looking forward to the year as I say and with some of the plans Chris and Pete have got, it should be a good one for the club and for the fans in particular too.”
