ROWE HEADS BACK TO PIRATES

ANDERS Rowe will return to Poole for a second spell with the defending Cab Direct Championship holders next season.

Rowe rode for the Pirates in 2023, averaging just under six, before a stint with Glasgow this year, and he becomes the fifth confirmed signing for the Wimborne Road club.

Promoter Dan Ford said: “We never wanted to let Anders go in 2024, but unfortunately he became a victim of the numbers game. Since then, he’s made great strides in his career, improving vastly as a rider.

“Last season we had a strong top four, which made us a formidable force on the track, and bringing Anders back into the fold for 2025 gives us confidence that we can build a similar dynamic.

“We’re thrilled to have him back at Wimborne Road, and we’re excited to see how he will contribute to another strong campaign for the Pirates.”
