The Ipswich Witches have announced Grand Prix star Jason Doyle will return to the team for the new season.

The Australian former world champion says he feels part of something special at Ipswich: “Since I first signed at Ipswich, a lot of things and people at the club have been so perfect, I don’t have a bad word to say, everything has gone so easily...

"It was a no-brainer to ask to come back to Ipswich next year.

“I think it is the way we get treated by the team, by Chris (Louis) and the Ipswich team, it is more of a family. You feel like you are part of something special and with how they put the team together, we always have a good bunch of boys and there is never a drama in the pits, and it has been like that the last two seasons and hopefully it can be the same next year.”

The world number eight played a key role in Ipswich winning the Knockout Cup and reaching the Sports Insure Premiership play-off final in 2023 but admits he was not totally satisfied with how things went as he searches for more titles with the club: “2022 was good, 2023 I don’t think was as good.

"It was ok but there were a lot of times where I didn’t feel fast enough, so I am going to be working very hard over the next year to get better and master the Ipswich track even more and we need to be lifting some more titles.

"The main one is still not in the cabinet yet, so hopefully I can stay there until we do get it.”
