IPSWICH have named their starting seven for the forthcoming Premiership season – and it includes a new face to British speedway in Sweden's Philip Hellstrom-Bangs.
Further new signings are Richard Lawson, Tobiasz Musielak and Scott Nicholls, with Danny King, Tom Brennan and Jason Edwards retained from the 2025 title-winning Witches side. Co-promoter Richard Coleman said: “It’s almost impossible to replace Jason Doyle and Emil Sayfutdinov, but the side we have assembled for 2026 has plenty of strength in depth. “We have riders who are vastly experienced as heat leaders in British speedway and a fantastic blend of youth and experience. “After a long winter of waiting for news about the club, we were keen to share news of the side that Andrew (Chisholm) and Paul (Hurry) worked hard to assemble in the weeks and months while we concluded Mayfield’s acquisition of the club. “This was at a time when the other four teams in the league had pretty much already built their teams. Despite that, I feel we have a well-balanced side, and I really hope fans will get behind the Witches class of 2026.”
