In 2023, he moved up to ride for the Oxford Cheetahs senior team for the SGB Championship 2023.[5][6] He also remained with the Chargers for the 2023 NDL season,[7] where he won the NDL league title with Oxford, defeating Leicester in a one-off Grand Final.[8]
He re-signed for Oxford for the 2024 season[9] and shortly afterwards won the Western Australia championship at Pinjar Park Speedway.
