Ashley Adam Birks (born 19 October 1990) in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England[1] is a former speedway rider from England.[2]
Birks rode with the Scunthorpe Scorpions in the Premier League and Swindon Robins in the Elite League.
A former motocross rider, Birks chose to take up speedway when serious injuries brought his motocross career to a premature end. In 2010, Birks signed for Scunthorpe Saints in the National League.
After a successful first year in Speedway, Birks then signed for the Sheffield Tigers in the Premier League for the 2011 season.[3]
During the 2012 National League speedway season he won the National League Riders' Championship, held on 29 September at Rye House Stadium.[4] [5] [6]
The following year in 2013, he signed to ride for Swindon Robins[7] but his career at Swindon ended badly after he broke his back in two places towards the end of the season.[8]
