Three-time world champion speedway rider Jason Crump has been tempted out of retirement to join the Ipswich Witches.
The 44-year-old Australian quit the sport in 2012 and said he'd been tempted into a full time return after a surprise call up to race down under.
One of those calls was from Ipswich promoter Chris Louis.
“Chris actually contacted me in November/December and asked what I was thinking. My average got reassessed and a Championship team were quite interested in having me in a different role as a rider/coach thing. My average wasn’t very friendly for Championship level speedway. Chriscontacted me at that point. As crazy as it sounds, I have probably been talking with Chris about it since November time believe it or not.”
