New faces for the defending National League champions are Alex Spooner, Senna Summers and Ashton Vale.

Oxford Speedway team manager Peter Schroeck said: “The Chargers is a huge success story since Oxford Speedway returned two seasons ago.

“We’ve been competitive in both campaigns of the club’s history and look forward to the challenges ahead in the new year.

“Having Luke double up with the Cheetahs and Chargers again next season is great for us. He’s a rider with huge potential and has really bought into what we’re trying to achieve at Sandy Lane.

“Jody, Jacob and Jason played key roles in our title triumph in the autumn, and we’re delighted to welcome Alex, Ashton and Senna into the camp.”

Oxford Speedway have now completed their winter signings, with the club’s Premiership team Oxford Spires and Championship squad for the Cheetahs confirmed prior to the Chargers announcement.
