Erik Riss to remain with Ipswich Witches for 2023 season
He'll be back at Foxhall next year - after an injury led to time out last season
Rider Erik Riss is set to return to Ipswich Witches for the 2023 season.
The 27 year old split his time between Witches and Championship side Redcar Bears in 2022, although his season was broken by injury.
He was part of the Witches team that won the 2022 Premiership Pairs.
Speaking to the Witches website, Riss said: “It was a pretty easy decision, I enjoyed riding for Ipswich this year.”
“I had my injury and was out for a bit which was a shame, but I got two more meetings in before the end of the season with Ipswich which was nice.
"When the season was finished, there was instantly a desire to be back and I wasn’t quite satisfied with how I went last year, I know I can do better.
“I enjoy the track at Ipswich but know I can do better, so I am not finished and can do a lot more. I definitely wanted to be back, it wasn’t a hard decision, it was my first choice to be back at Ipswich."
Erik is due to undergo surgery later this moenth after suffering a torn ACL during last season, and will spend the off-season returning to fitness.
