Dylan Dunn is coming out of retirement after an almost four-year absence from Melbourne’s riding ranks.
The 28-year-old, who is also a licensed trainer, announced on Thursday that he will be available for rides as soon as next week.
Dunn hasn't ridden since suffering fibula and tibula injuries in a trackwork fall at Caulfield in 2021.
The son of retired Group 1-winning jockey Dwayne Dunn rode 270 winners from 2014 until 2021.
Since taking out a licence to train, Dunn has prepared nine winners.
"I just love being a jockey," Dunn told Racing.com.
"I just love being a professional athlete and I am just not ready to give it up. I am really excited to make the transition back into riding from next week."
Dunn said he would retain a dual licence but would scale back his team.
"Over the next five or six months, I will continue to drop my numbers as a trainer," he said.
"I want to put that to the side in time so I can focus on my riding and try to be the best jockey I can.
