King's Lynn Stars' rider Thomas Jorgensen is ready to take his career to the next level.
Jorgensen raced through the pain barrier in the latter part of last season but still managed to hit the big numbers with King's Lynn.
And he says a season clear of injury will help him take his status up a notch at the Adrian Flux Arena.
'I thought I did well last year but I now feel ready to take my career up a level,' he said.
'I'm going to be fit and ready after all the hard work I've put in on the knee and I feel the time is right to put an extra point or two on my average.
