Thomas Jørgensen (born 14 July 1992, Aalborg, Denmark), is a Danish speedway rider. Thomas first came to notice in the United Kingdom in July 2010 whilst a member of the Team Viking touring side. In a meeting against Plymouth he broke the track record and became the first rider to go below 50 seconds. Following a string of impressive performances on that tour Thomas attracted the attention of several Premier League clubs, eventually signing a contract with Scunthorpe Scorpions for the 2011 season. Thomas returned to the United Kingdom late in 2010 for a one off meeting at Scunthorpe where he became winner of the inaugural Rob Woffinden memorial trophy.
In 2017, he joined the King's Lynn Stars and has remained with them since.[1][2] In 2022, he rode for King's Lynn in the SGB Premiership 2022.[3]
