Mick Powell

Powell started his British leagues career during the 1989 National League season, where he rode for Edinburgh Monarchs.^[3][4] He spent two seasons with Edinburgh and struggled to find consistent form, before moving to Scottish rivals Glasgow Tigers in 1991.^[3]

He spent five years with Glasgow from 1991 to 1995, slowly improving his average and recorded a 7.43 average in 1993. He was part of the team that won the 'double double' (the 1993 and 1994 league and cup doubles).^[5]

In 1996, Glasgow failed to field a team so Powell appeared for the controversial Scottish Monarchs (Edinburgh racing at Glasgow) during the 1996 Premier League speedway season before returning to Glasgow in 1997.^[3] It was during 1997 that Powell established himself as one of Glasgow's leading riders and the following season in 1998 averaged an impressive 9.32.^[3]

In 2000, he moved from Glasgow to join Workington Comets and gained success by partnering Carl Stonehewer to the Premier League Pairs Championship title, held at Derwent Park.^[6] After two years with Workington he returned to Glasgow for a third time in 2002 and had one last season with Newcastle Diamonds in 2003.^[3]
