Russell Wade Harrison (born 11 October 1981 in Elizabeth, South Australia)[1] is an Australian former motorcycle speedway rider.
Harrison made his debut in British speedway in 2001 riding for Glasgow Tigers.
[7] He moved back to Workington in 2006, after apparently refusing to take his last two rides for Edinburgh during rain soaked meeting against Rye House Rockets on 7 July 2006,[8] He was part of the Workington four who won the Premier League Four-Team Championship, held on 7 October 2006, at Derwent Park.
[10][11] In September 2007, Harrison decided to retire from speedway after being affected by the serious injuries suffered by team-mate Garry Stead.
This followed a poor run of form when he had already decided to stop riding that season, saying, "I just haven't got going at all and I feel I have been letting too many people down" said the Australian.
