WEYMOUTH Doonan Wildcats have added to their 2007 squad by securing the services of Australian youngster Jay Herne. Although the 22-year-old hails from Campbell Town in Sydney, he has an English mother and a British passport, which allows him a two-point average and makes him eligible to ride in the Conference League. He also heralds from a racing family. His father Phil turned out for the Bristol Bulldogs, Birmingham and Swindon, and was part of the victorious Australian team in the 1976 World Team Speedway Championship, and his brother Lee once had spells at Newport and Arena Essex.
