Aussie racer Kye Thomson will start his fifth season as an Edinburgh Monarchs rider in 2025 and is pleased to be back with the Armadale club.

The 26-year-old eyes silverware next season and said: “I am super excited to say I’ll be back. As you all know, I had some extensive time out with injury (last season) which was not the way I wanted to end the year.

“It has made me super-motivated and I can’t wait to get preparations underway for the new year.”

Thomson burst onto the scene in 2021, averaging a strong 5.46 in his first season. Since then Kye has enjoyed three steady campaigns averaging around 6.50 and knows that next year is a big one for him and the club.

He added: “It’s a fresh start and I’ve got my eyes on some silverware. I can’t wait to meet the new faces in the team.”
