David Howe

David Peter Howe (born 1 March 1982) is a former motorcycle speedway rider from England.

Career Born in Leicester, England, Howe started his career on 31 March 1997, aged 15, with the Peterborough Panthers team in the Conference League. After winning the Premier League in 1998 with Peterborough Panthers he was part of the squad that won the treble with Peterborough: the Elite League, the Knockout Cup and the Craven Shield.

Howe won the British Under-21 Championship in 2000 and in 2002 he finished third in the World Under-21 Championship. After collecting a second Knockout Cup winners medal, he left Peterborough after the 2001 season to join Wolverhampton Wolves. His switch to the Midlands club resulted in immediate success because the team won the Elite League.

Howe spent six seasons at Wolverhampton (split by one season with Oxford Cheetahs) before he joined Scunthorpe Scorpions in 2009. In 2011, he rode in his tenth and last British final. He became the club captain at Scunthorpe and rode for them for seven seasons before his Scunthorpe riding career came to an end after 2015. At retirement he had earned four international caps for the Great Britain national speedway team.
