JASON Doyle has one thing on his mind when he returns to Swindon Robins next season and that is becoming re-acquainted with the play-offs.

The Aussie has missed out on the end of season showpiece for the last two seasons during his spell with Leicester Lions and is desperate for his season not to end prematurely this time around.

The 30-year-old, who is still in a neck brace following his dramatic crash in the final Grand Prix of the series in Melbourne, believes Swindon can put together a team that can make the play-offs for a fifth consecutive season.

When asked what his aims were coming back to Swindon for the 2016 season he replied: “Play-offs.

“For the last two seasons at Leicester we haven’t made the play-offs and from the years I was at Poole and when I was at Swindon I was always guaranteed to be in the finals.

“It hasn’t worked out while I have been at Leicester, the reserve change really put a dampener on the sport I would say.

“Going back to Swindon, hopefully we can make the finals and I can do what I have done for the last two seasons and score as many points as possible.

“It is pretty hard to watch on television. I don’t get jealous but I do wish I was in the finals.

“It shows how great our sport can be with the coverage from Sky.

“To lift that title like we have done a couple of times is a great feeling and I really miss that.

“It is also money out of my pocket when we don’t make the play-offs.”

Changing from racing in the Elite League from Saturdays was another key part of Doyle’s decision to look for a different club.

Doyle, who has also signed for Swedish side Rospiggarna, made it clear though that he would put the interests of himself and his partner Emily first and last season’s scheduling had an impact on his racing.

“I didn’t think for the last two years when I rode for a Saturday club that it was going to be an issue,” added Doyle.

“However, this season, with the Grand Prix series, it was a massive disadvantage to ride on a Saturday. I know none of the Grand Prix meetings clashed, but I never had family time and a normal rest.

“It took its toll and in the end from August, where I had 22 meetings, it started to impact in Europe and that is when I really wanted to find a solution.”
