COOK’S PIRATES FAREWELL

POOLE captain Zach Cook has announced his decision to step away from Championship racing next season.

Cook’s time with the Pirates has seen him secure a remarkable ten major team titles, including leading the side to league and BSN Series honours this year.

He said: “After five incredible years with the Pirates, I feel the time is right to take the next step in my racing career.

“Poole will always hold a special place in my heart. I’ve made some amazing memories, built friendships and enjoyed special moments during my time at the club.

“I want to say a massive thank you to everyone at Poole, the management, my team-mates, sponsors and, of course, the incredible supporters for everything they’ve done for me over the past five years.”
