Thomson back for Monarchs

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.”
