DOYLE IN WITCHES RETURN

IPSWICH have announced the return of former World Champion Jason Doyle to form a powerhouse spearhead with new signing Dan Bewley.

Australian ace Doyle won the ROWE Motor Oil Premiership title with the Witches in 2025 before stepping in for Belle Vue this year when Bewley was injured, clinching another crown for the Manchester club with their path to success featuring a play-off semi-final win over the Foxhall side.

Doyle said: “I’ve had a year out of the Witches, and I guess a lot has changed at the club. I am really looking forward to a new challenge and a new chapter with Richard (Coleman) in charge at Ipswich.

“Ipswich is very family orientated. Being up the road from home really helps. As you get older, it’s a little bit harder to travel.

“I found the hardest part of going to Belle Vue this year was the travelling. Sometimes it was 12 to 14 hours when I did the whole round trip, so to be only an hour up the road helps a lot, especially with family.

“I am hoping to go back there, do a job and enjoy my racing again. That’s the main thing I want to do next year.”

The Witches’ top three for 2027 is now complete with long-serving skipper Danny King also back in the fold after an impressive 2026 campaign, whilst youngster Will Cairns was confirmed earlier this week.
