ADDITIONAL INFO: In 2009, Auty initially took the role of club No. 8 at Coventry, prior to being promoted to a ‘doubling-up' role in place of Joel Parsons in June. However, when his fellow ‘doubling-up' rider, Jordan Frampton, sustained a wrist injury on 20 July, the Bees temporarily dispensed with using the facility.

Both Auty and Frampton were recalled to the ‘doubling-up' position at the end of August, though, when Filip Sitera was released. Following the season, the Yorkshire lad spent the winter riding Down Under as part of a Darren and Sharon Boocock Scholarship, organized in the main by Ayr Speedway enthusiast and former rider Marcus Williams. Whilst in Australia, the youngster won the Queensland Under-21 title at Gladstone on 21 November, defeating Mitchell Davey, Hugh Skidmore and Tyson Nelson in the final.

Shortly after that triumph, it was confirmed that Auty would remain with Sheffield - despite competition for his services from other tracks - for a second successive term in 2010, whilst also continuing to ‘double-up' with his parent club, Coventry.
