Adams has had three spells at the Robins dating back to 1990

Swindon Robins captain Leigh Adams will return to the Abbey Stadium for a seventh-consecutive speedway season after agreeing personal terms.

The 38-year-old Australian was ever-present in 2009 and picked up the Elite League Riders' Championship.

He also led the Robins to the play-off final where they lost to Wolverhampton.

"Obviously it's great to have him as a confirmed starter in what could well be his final European season," Swindon co-owner Terry Russell said.

"It's not just Leigh's on-track presence that's so important, it's what he offers the whole squad off track, too.

"Of course, Swindon is the natural place for Leigh to ride his British League speedway and from speaking to him, I know he's more determined than ever to secure silverware in 2010," added Russell.

"Naturally, the club will do everyone possible to help him achieve domestic glory as we aim to make the 2010 campaign one to really remember."

The 10-time Australian champion joins Swede Thomas H Jonasson as a confirmed starter for Swindon's 2010 squad.
