Krzysztof Kasprzak wants to return to the Sky Sports Elite League next season.

The Poole Pirates asset enjoyed a brief stint back at Wimborne Road earlier this season when filling in for Bjarne Pedersen.

The 24-year-old Pole - who has featured in the Grand Prix series for the first-team this year - is keen to get back to Britain.

Kasprzak is already out of reach to qualify automatically for next year's series and with a wild-card looking unlikely - he is hoping a slot back in the Elite League will improve him.

"He has had a frustrating season, he proved his abilities last year in England and on the international in the World Cup," his manager Mateusz Gmura told the Speedway Star.

"That has made it tough for him this year as a young rider in the Grand Prix because he knows he has the abilities and hasn't been able to prove it on the track.

"The basic problem for Kryz has been the lack of racing in England this season and it has had its consequences for him.

"Riding regularly in England gives your racing rhythm and that gives the confidence, which he needs.

"I know a lot of riders don't race in England now but Kryz believes there are a lot of advantages if you do it and he wants to come back next year.

"He is sure the regular racing would help him get into a steady rhythm again and it will also be a big help for him to ride different shapes and sizes as well as different surfaces.

"Not riding there has been his biggest problem this year and that is why we will be trying very hard to find him a place in an English team."
