PLYMOUTH are two riders closer to completing their new Championship line-up after announcing the signings of Alfie Bowtell and Zach Cook.
Bowtell (pictured), formerly with the Devon club in the National League, raced at second tier level for Eastbourne in 2019 and Australian Cook comes in for his British debut, having originally signed a contract for Somerset. Gladiators promoter Mark Phillips said: “Alfie really knows his way around the Plymouth track as he has shown each time he rides here, and I was delighted when he agreed to return. “He has previous Championship experience and I’m certain he will provide us with real scoring power at the lower end of the team. “Zach rode against Plymouth in 2019 for Somerset in an inter-league challenge match and he really caught my eye then, scoring nine points. “That was after he had been in the country for only 24 hours and wasn’t on his own machinery, so I think Zach has real talent.”
