The Ipswich Witches have confirmed club captain Danny King will ride with them for the 2023 Speedway season.

King has been at Ipswich for the past seven seasons and next year will be his fourteenth in total at Foxhall.

Speaking to the Witches website, Danny said his commitment to the club has never changed: "It is always an easy decision for me to come to Ipswich.

"Everyone knows how I feel about the club. Even though this year didn’t quite go the way I wanted it to with machinery I think people can see I am still giving 100% every time and my dedication to win for Ipswich has not changed at all...

"2022 was frustrating, that is the best way to put it. Finishing 2021 in such good form and comfortable with everything, I seemed to have a bad run of luck with engines going into 2022.

"We went down the route of getting some new engines from different people and it felt like going backwards again. It never got going as much as I’d like but on a positive note, I finished good and changed some engine tuners again.

"I just kept trying and trying and got back to where I wanted to be, it was too little too late but hopefully it puts me in good stead for next year.”
