[edit] Career
Screen started his career with the Belle Vue Aces in 1989 in the top tier of British league racing and has never ridden at a lower level. In 1994 he transferred to the Bradford Dukes, where he spent the next four seasons. A year back at Belle Vue Aces in 1998 was followed by a solitary season with the Hull Vikings. The next four seasons were spent with the Eastbourne Eagles before returning 'home' to Belle Vue in 2003. After being released by Belle Vue following the 2008 season, Screen joined Elite League champions the Poole Pirates on loan for 2009. He then joined Glasgow Tigers for the last part of the 2010 and stayed for the 2011 season where he captained Glasgow to Premier League Champions and won the Premier League Pairs alongside James Grieves.[2]
Screen was the 1993 World Under-21 Champion. He made his debut for England in 1991 but did not ride for the renamed Great Britain team until 2002. Screen has twice been British Champion, in 1996 and 2004. He rode in the Speedway Grand Prix series between 1996 until 2001 (when he had to withdraw after breaking his thigh) and as a wild card in the British Grand Prix in 2002.
