MONARCHS NAME TWO MORE

EDINBURGH have announced returns in 2027 for Jonatan Grahn and Jordy Loftus to give them three names on their team-sheet for next season.

Swedish rider Grahn will be going into his third year with the Monarchs, whilst it will be a second full Cab Direct Championship campaign for youngster Loftus.

Grahn said: “It was a priority for me to be back with Edinburgh and it suits me well.

“This year I felt like I was really getting to grips with Armadale, and I want to build on that and be part of this club again.”

Loftus added: “I am delighted. We had a rough start to the season this year but we finished well.

“I feel like I improved a lot and with the help of my team-mates I had a good year and I want that to continue.”

Grahn and Loftus join Kye Thomson in the side subject to approval, with all three having been involved in the line-up which reached the play-offs this year.
