Australian Jason Doyle has committed to riding again for Ipswich Witches next season.

The former world champion returned to British racing last year and is now set to continue his journey at Foxhall.

Speaking to the Witches website, Jason said: “I only had one thought in mind and that was to be back at Ipswich.”

“I didn’t want to take any offers from other clubs so that was pretty easy for me to come back after the 2022 season.

"It was an eye-opener to come to a club that was run so professionally, and I really enjoyed my time working with Chris Louis, Ritchie Hawkins and the Ipswich management.

“Returning to British speedway was what I had to do for my racing, I felt like I missed it with the two years that I was out of it after winning the league with Swindon in 2019.

"Having such a break from British speedway didn’t feel right. A lot of other riders and clubs don’t want us to be riding in England, but I always feel like if I do ride in England, I do become a better rider.

“I feel it was the right move for myself to move to Ipswich.

"Coming from Norwich, it is a very easy way to get to Ipswich and it made it so much easier for my wife, friends, and family to come and watch as well.

"It was a family affair this year and I really enjoyed it and I hope I can carry on how last year went.”
