Speedway

He spent two seasons at Wolverhampton Wolves from 1984 to 1985 before joining Poole Pirates in 1986. In his first season at Poole he finished runner-up in the National League Riders' Championship and averaged 10.36.[5] He topped the Poole averages for the next two years in 1987 and 1988.

For the 1989 National League season, he joined Hackney Kestrels and topped the league averages for the London club.[6] The following season the success continued as he topped the league averages for a second consecutive season and won the National League Pairs, partnering Andy Galvin for Hackney, during the 1990 National League season.[7][8] In 1990, he won the Southern Riders' Championship.[9]

After two very successful seasons with Hackney, Schofield re-joined the Poole Pirates, where he would spend seven more seasons.[10] With Poole, he won the 1994 league title and fours championship.[11] His final season was the 1998 Elite League speedway season, with Oxford Cheetahs.[2]
