Little, born in Woollahra, Sydney, won the 1932, 2 lap Australian Solo Championship at the Cumberland Oval.[2] His form in Australia was noticed by the British clubs and Wembley Lions secured his services.[3] However, he worked for the Sydney City Council in the telephone service and a special meeting with the Council and Lord Mayor was required to approve his move to England.[4]
He began riding for Wembley during the 1934 Speedway National League season[5] but he struggled to make it into the first team despite captaining the reserves. His form improved which made him ineligible for the reserves, so he was loaned out to Wimbledon Dons.[6]
After a difficult first season in the United Kingdom he returned to Australia but suffered a serious injury in a crash during February 1935, whilst riding for Australia against England in a test match. He broke his thigh and collarbone and missed the 1935 season for his parent club Wembley.[7]
After a full years recovery, he was ready to ride again in 1936 and performed well in Australia. He returned to British speedway in 1937 signing again for Wembley but once again found himself loaned out to Wimbledon.[8] He enjoyed a much better 1938, averaging 7.56[9] for Wimbledon.[10]
Hackney Wick Wolves made an attempt to sign him in 1939 but he remained in Australia, where he finished his career and was still riding in 1949.[11]
