HUME JOINS WITCHES SQUAD

IPSWICH have added club asset Danyon Hume to their squad as No.8 for the new Premiership season.

Hume rode for the Witches at Championship level in 2016-18 and had a stint in the top-flight for play-off qualifiers Sheffield this year.

He said: “It will be nice to go back. In the time I’ve been away I have been at Poole and have been in the National League with Leicester, and I feel I have matured as a rider. Now is the right time to go back home as they say.

“I just want to hit the ground running at the beginning of next season. A lot of work happens behind the scenes in the off-season, and I am gearing up to do the Premiership and Championship. It’s just one of those things, hopefully I’ll get a ride in the top league.”
