Buxton's Bullish Move: Etherington's Rising Star in the WSRA National Development League
Buxton has bolstered its lineup with the addition of the talented 16-year-old Jamie Etherington, gearing up for their National Development League comeback. Etherington's impressive performance last season with the Steelers and Kent in the NDL and parallel Trophy competition is a testament to his potential. He achieved a remarkable feat, scoring a paid maximum in seven rides against Oxford at Scunthorpe.
Promoter Laurence Rogers highlights Etherington's growth, stating, 'His second season in 2025 was a breakthrough year. With the guidance of skipper Jack Smith and No.1 Alfie Bowtell, he has a strong support system in place.' This strategic move showcases Buxton's commitment to nurturing young talent, aiming for success in the WSRA National Development League.
