Stint in The AMA Supercross/Motocross Nationals Series
In his first season racing in the U.S., Searle finished in 6th place in the 250 class of the 2009 AMA Motocross Championship. He made the podium three times, finishing 3rd overall at Mt. Morris, Lakewood and Buchanan. Searle had previously told www.motorcycle-usa.com that he was hoping to finish in the top three for the season.
However, Searle's debut Supercross season ended early when he injured his shoulder at the Anaheim Two meeting on January 23 . In the two rounds in which he competed before the injury, Searle finished 7th overall at the Anaheim One meeting, and 8th overall at the Phoenix meeting.
In 2010 Searle embarked on his second season in the 250 class of the AMA Motocross Championship. But once again his progress was hampered by injury, and he finished fourteenth overall after missing a number of races. His best result was a second place in the first moto of the opening round at Hangtown.
