Wouldn't that be to much of a jump though, Ruddick was in the reserve position at Mildenhall last season and only moved up into the team when they signed Stefan Farnaby, so to go from a reserve in the NL to reserve in the PL would be asking to much of him. Much better IMO to have another year in the NL, win some races, build on confidence and experience, and if the BSPA haven't binned this No7 draft idea for 2017 Berwick could have another look then.
Carr, as an asset, would be a much better option, though as has been mentioned Liam is coming in for some interest from other clubs.
