Nathan Mark Stoneman (born 17 September 1996) is a speedway rider from Wales.[1] [2] [3]

Career

Stoneman began his speedway career in 2012 with the Mildenhall Fen Tigers, where he picked up a league and cup double as the team dominated the 2012 National League speedway season. The following season he remained with the Tigers for the 2013 National League speedway season.[1]

After a lengthy break he returned to speedway in 2016 when he joined the Isle of Wight Islanders.[4] In 2017, he joined the Kent Kings but also made several appearances for the Sheffield Tigers in the higher division.[4]

In 2019, he rode for the Birmingham Brummies and Somerset Rebels before taking another break. In 2022, he rode for the Berwick Bandits in the SGB Championship 2022.[5] Also in 2022, Stoneman utilised his landscape gardening background by helping the renovation of the speedway facilites at Oxford Stadium on their return to speedway.[6] He rode for the Oxford Chargers during the 2022 National Development League speedway season. He enjoyed a successful season helping Oxford eventually reach the play offs but suffered a broken shoulder blade which prevented further participation.[7]

In 2023, he re-signed for Berwick for the SGB Championship 2023[8] but also remained with the Chargers for the 2023 NDL season.[9]
