Brady Kurtz is making every post a winner - on and off the track!

The Cowra local riding prodigy has not only been named captain of his Polish riding team but now also, he is the leader for the UK based team he rides for as well - Belle Vue.

Brady, who started on a Pee Wee 50 as a four year old with his older brother, Todd, under the watchful eye of current Cowra Motorcycle Racing Club President, Steve, got his first break into British Speedway riding in the Premier League with the Somerset Rebels. He was a part of the Somerset team that won the Premier League four team championship in 2014, at the East of England Arena.

After two impressive years with the Rebels, Kurtz was named in the Poole Pirates team to compete in the 2016 Elite League. This news didn't come as a surprise, as Kurtz had already been the subject of interest from Poole and connections for some time.

The Poole promoter Matt Ford has gone on record lauding Kurtz as an "outstanding talent" that "every single club wants to snap up as an asset".

"And since then they have been in a line trying to get him to sign but he knows where he wants to take his career and always has," said father Steve Kurtz.

After a stint with the Plymouth Devils (along with his brother) that won the Premier League four team championship in 2016, at the East of England Arena again, Kurtz signed with Belle Vue in 2020.

Racing for the Belle Vue Aces in the SGB Premiership he captained the club in 2022 to the league title before he re-signed again for the SGB Premiership 2023. Kurtz along with Dan Bewley and Jake Mulford then subsequently won the premiership pairs for Belle Vue that same year in June too.

Now he has re-signed for Belle Vue for the 2024 season and a third year at the club. Since then he has helped Australia secure a silver medal at the 2024 Speedway of Nations on his home track in Manchester in what has been a stellar year for Brady.

"He's in great form," said Steve, President of the Cowra Motorcycle Racing Club.

"Despite a foot injury in Sweden for his Swedish team, his results have been impressive and he leads the Polish league while up near the top in the UK competition too.

"There are a few of the local brigade over here doing well including Zach and Ben Cook," Steve said.

"It's great to see so many Cowra boys on the big stage tearing it up!"
