Biography
Worrall was born in St. Helens, Merseyside, the slightly elder of twins, the other being Steve Worrall, also now a speedway rider.[1] Initially a motocross rider, he made his league debut in speedway in 2010 with Scunthorpe Saints in the National League.[1] For 2011, he was signed by Premier League Newcastle Diamonds, with whom he won the Premier Shield, also continuing to ride in the National League with Sheffield/Scunthorpe, for whom he averaged 7.75 over a season in which the team won the league.[1] He stayed with Newcastle in 2012, when he was joined by his brother, and also rode in the National League for Stoke Potters and in the Elite League with Lakeside Hammers.[2][3][4]
In June 2012 he qualified for the World Under-21 Final, the first British rider to do so for three years.[4] At the end of the month, however, a double break to his leg sustained in a crash at Workington ended his season. [5]
