New Edinburgh Monarchs reserve Mitch Cluff revealed he sought advice from club legend Sam Masters before putting pen to paper for 2026.
Mitch Cluff will don the Blue and Gold racesuit in 2026. 'I feel a lot more ready for the year ahead and I can't wait to get started with Edinburgh,' he said

The Capital side announced the signing of the 25-year-old Australian, joining Dan Thompson, Justin Sedgmen, Jonatan Grahn and Jordy Loftus in the Blue and Gold for next year's Championship campaign. There are just two places left to fill with the Monarchs expected to unveil the duo this side of Christmas.
Cluff only started his British speedway career earlier this year after joining the Plymouth Gladiators. And, despite showing progress on the shale in those early meetings, he was axed from the team in July as the Devon-based club brought in veteran, and former Grand Prix star, Scott Nicholls.
He is now determined to make up for lost time in 2026 with the Monarchs.
