British career history: Isle of Wight (2008), Birmingham (2009-10), Swindon (2009 - No.8), Belle Vue (2009 -d/up), Coventry (2010 - d/up).
RICHARD is one of the seemingly never-ending crop of young Australian talent currently making their way in British racing.
A state Champion in New South Wales, he has been associated with Swindon since coming to the UK and competed for the Isle of Wight in the second half of the 2008 season - also appearing for the Robins in an Elite League fixture against the Bees at Blunsdon.
A move to Birmingham followed for 2009, along with occasional top-flight outings with Swindon and latterly Belle Vue, and his form for the Brummies was spectacular in the second hald of the season - including a paid-21 maximum against Workington.
He was an automatic choice for retention in the Birmingham team and also the ideal candidate to double-up for the Bees, linking up with ex-Swindon boss Alun Rossiter at Brandon.
