FIM SPEEDWAY: DOUGLAS SEALS LIONS RETURN


FIM Speedway World Cup winner Ryan Douglas is targeting Rowe Motor Oil Premiership glory with Leicester after his return to the Lions was confirmed for the 2027 season.

Douglas led the club to the Premiership Knockout Cup, as well as the play-off semi-finals. He was also part of Australia’s SWC winning side at Warsaw’s PGE Narodowy on August 29 – a dream tournament debut for the Queenslander.

The Lions top gun, who averaged 9.08 points, can’t wait to return for 2027. He said: “Last season was a good one for me personally and I was pleased with how things went.

“I managed to put my average up, but there’s always room to improve and I want to keep that going next year.
“We had some good moments as a team last season, especially winning the KO Cup, and hopefully we can go one better in the league this time around.

“I’ve got a great relationship with Paul (Cairns), Stewart (Dickson) and Jen (Crossland), so I’m looking forward to getting back over and getting started again.”
