AUSSIE rider Aaron Summers says the ball is in Swindon’s court when it comes to his future in the Elite League.

The 27-year-old joined the campaign late in the day as he came in to sure up the number two role, replacing young Czech rider Eduard Krcmar, who struggled to adapt to life in Britain’s top league.

Summers impressed as he picked up 70 points in his ten meetings, including a 7+1 haul in Monday’s defeat at home to Belle Vue.

The Adelaide-born rider saw the chance to ride for Swindon as an opportunity to put himself in the shop window for a place in the Elite League next season, but is unsure whether that will be with Swindon or somewhere else at this moment.

“That is up to Swindon,” said Summers, when asked if he would want to return to Swindon for the next campaign.

“If they want me in their team then I am sure we can sort something out, but we will see what happens.

“I needed to prove a point and hopefully I have done that.

“I came in late and have been able to help the team out and done my job.

“I have loved being part of the Robins and I have kept myself busy and have been showing people what I can do.

“I am obviously in the play-offs with Glasgow as well and I have been doing a few meetings abroad as well, which is good and I am trying to sort myself out for next season.

“Hopefully teams realise that I can do the job and get a spot somewhere next year.”

Summers was left frustrated by the way Swindon crashed out of the play-offs on Monday, but said they had left themselves too much work to do from the first leg.

“It was a bit of a shame. The boys were all up for it at the start and we kind of let ourselves down at Belle Vue,” he added.

“It was always going to be a tough ask to bring that back but it is the way it goes I suppose.

“All the play-off meetings are always hard and the track has not been ideal either.

“Some of the boys struggled a little bit and I really didn’t think the meeting was going to be on.

“It would have been awesome to get in the final but it is not to be now.”
