EDINBURGH have snapped up 16-year-old Australian star Jordy Loftus.
The Gold Coast kid will immediately go into the reserve berth for the Stellar Monarchs and makes his senior debut at Oxford on June 18.
Loftus joins the Armadale side to replace Mark Parker after a close association with fellow Aussies Kye Thomson and Justin Sedgmen.
He said: “I’m excited to join the club and meet all the people and race for them.
“I know of Justin (Sedgmen) and Kye (Thomson) and I’ve got to know Kye more personally over the past year or so. We practise at the same track in Ipswich [Australia].
“I’ve been watching his technique going around the track and getting some tips off him. I’ve watched every single video you have put up from Armadale, it looks amazing."
“I’m No.2 in Australia on the 250s, I rode those until I turned 16 in March when I jumped onto a 500 and since then I’ve been getting better and better on it.
“I rode in SGP3 in 2024, and that went well in the semis when I got fifth. In the final I had a little bit of bad luck the way things went but my final placing was thirteenth.”
Loftus will also line up in the Monarchs Academy team in the National Development League starting this Sunday in the team’s away match at Middlesbrough.
