Debuting at the end of 2014 in the Fresher's Race, he won the overall event at Bayford Meadows, showing off his speed and talent from the get go. Racing in the BUKC followed, his first race in the Rookies cut short at the start by hitting a wall into turn one as he was caught up in mid pack banditry, earning him the BUKC Crash of the Year. His second year consisted of getting elected Vice President before stepping down in third year to become the Social Officer, rounding up the troops for nights out.
