In 2007, by finishing second in the British Final, David made another appearance at Cardiff but in 2008 Wolves struggled and only avoided relegation to the Premier League by beating Edinburgh in the play-offs.
After a disappointing season David decided he wanted to drop down to the Premier League for 2009 and against all odds it was Scunthorpe that he chose. Although expectations were high David started the season well and improved as the year went on. At the season end he was fifth in the league averages with 530 points scored from 49 official meetings with an average of 9.18. Since the end of the season David has repeatedly suggested that riding the Scunthorpe track has transformed him into a real racer, that he is enjoying his racing more than at any time during his career and that he would like to remain with the Scorpions for a very long time.
