ROHAN TUNGATE admitted it was an “easy decision” to return to Oxford in 2025.
The Australian Champion has already signed up for the Spires’ assault on the ROWE Motor Oil Premiership for next season.
The 34-year-old went to No.1 in the side and showed great form around Cowley.
On Friday evening at the end-of-season team bash, it was revealed that the Oxford supporters had voted him as their Rider of the Year for the 2024 campaign.
Tungate said: “It was an easy decision to return to Oxford in 2025, after a good year riding for the club this season. It’s the most enjoyable time I’ve had riding in England.
“A big thank you to everyone involved in the Oxford Speedway club and I can’t wait for next season.”
Oxford team manager Peter Schroeck said: “We’re delighted to have Rohan back with the Spires again in 2025. He did a very good job for us in 2024. We didn’t have to chase him much to come to Oxford – he really wanted to return to British Speedway and he's keen to ride for us again next season.
“There will be a few changes for him next season, such as his Polish team moving into the top league over there.“He’s a quality rider, and that the fans voted for him as Rider Of The Year for the Spires shows that he is popular with them too.”
Tungate joins Rising Star Luke Killeen as confirmed starters for the 2025 Spires.
