"I've got three different bikes and three different classes to choose fro꧅m,” McWilliams told the .

“So it's abo💜ut finding what's the best fo꧟cus and where we fit in best.

"It means a lot to be competitive and enjoy racing. That's the focu🦩s to go out and be as competitive as possible on the two tracks that we've got, Kirkistown and Bishopscourt.

"It's a wake-up call for me, jumping back on a b൲ig bike against guys who are circuit specialists. I want to start in a strong way and see how it goes.”

McWilliams’ teammates will b🎐e Andy Reid and Carl Phillips.

He is expected t꧟o race at the North West 200 in May, where he has 13 podium finishes since his 2012 debut.

McWilliams said about his upcoming year: "I've deci🍎ded to come 🔯back to my grassroots.

“I dippe𒁏d my toe in at the end of 2024 and really enjoyed it r🦩unning with Jason [McCaw, JMC Racing team owner] and the team.

"To be part of a professional set-up like that, which is even bigger this year, bringing new guys on board and new machinery, it gave me that spark to 💯get back racing here in the Ulster Superbike Championship."

His vast career has seen him c𝓀ompete in MotoGP, World Superbikඣes and British Superbikes.

More recently, he won the 2022 King of ꦦthe Baggers🅷 in the USA.
