TEENAGE star Ryan Ingram will return to ride for Scunthorpe Scorpions for a second season in 2027.

In his first season at Cab Direct Championship level in 2026, 16-year-old Ingram was highly impressive for the Ellie Rose Travel Scunthorpe Scorpions, especially around Scunthorpe’s Eddie Wright Raceway, including a fine 10+1 against Poole in the first leg of the Grand Final. Ingram was often the match-winner around the EWR.

Team manager David Howe says: “It was a no-brainer to bring Ryan back.

“When we signed Ryan, it was obviously a slight gamble but it definitely paid off, most certainly at home and we want to capitalise on that again this season. It was a big jump for him and a massive learning curve, and hopefully the club and Ryan will reap more rewards next season.

“I would like to see some improvement away obviously and I know Ryan is after that as well. But once again he will be under no pressure and if just keeps improving at his own rate, that’s all we ask for. Last season he did improve with each meeting he did at every track so I am hopeful that he can take what he has learned and move forward; a couple of extra points from him will be massive for us.”

Ryan Ingram said: “I felt like I made a lot of progress and definitely found my feet at home around Scunthorpe. I loved every minute riding for the club and I can’t thank David and Rob (Godfrey, Scunthorpe promoter) for the opportunity of letting me ride and have fun.

“Thank you to the fans for all their support. To be part of a club where the management and the fans back me through all the highs and the lows is a big relief and I can’t wait for the 2027 season.”

The next signing for Scunthorpe Scorpions will be revealed next Wednesday, while all team news remains subject to approval from British Speedway.
