FORMER Poole rider Josh Grajczonek (pictured) will be back at Wimborne Road next season.
The Australian, who appeared for the Pirates in 2013-14, rejoins the club from Premiership rivals Somerset. Poole promoter Matt Ford said: "Josh's place in the team for our 70th anniversary season is another massive statement of intent. "¨ "Alongside Brady Kurtz, I am expecting great things from Josh next year. He featured heavily in both 2013 and 2014 when we won the title so I'm hoping he can be another good omen for us 2018. "He is extremely easy to work with, fits the Pirates mould perfectly and is a genuine heat leader who can play a key role as we look to claim a tenth top-flight title."
