Ward is being chased by a host of clubs for the 2010 season

Swindon skipper Leigh Adams claims one of speedway's hottest prospects, Darcy Ward, wants to ride for them next year.

The 17-year-old is being tracked by several clubs and fellow Australian Adams says a move to the Abbey Stadium is his preferred choice.

"Its certainly on top of his list, it's a great club and the Manchester United of speedway," he told BBC Wiltshire.

"The management put together a good show, the track is always good, we've got great support."

He added: "I spoke to him and he's not really sure which way he's going. We'll just see what happens."

Ward is the current World champion at under-21 level and would come in on a low points average making him a highly desirable prospect for any club.

In the 2009 season he rode for King's Lynn Stars and also competed in Germany and Poland.
