MPT RETURNS FOR SCORPIONS

DANISH star Michael Palm Toft is heading back to Scunthorpe for a third spell with the club next year.

Palm Toft began his UK career with the Scorpions in 2011, winning the league title the following year, and last appeared for the Eddie Wright Raceway side in 2017 when he was captain.

Promoter Rob Godfrey said: “Michael is our asset, and he is on an average (6.76) that simply doesn’t match his ability.

“When Peterborough won the top league in 2021, Michael ended the season riding for them at No.1 and it demonstrated how good he is.

“He was trying to ride with a shoulder injury last season and, of course, it affected his scoring. But he’s now fit and raring to go.

“I spoke to him about returning to us a year ago, but he wished to join Plymouth. But I chatted to him again, and he’s keen to come back to us for 2023.”
