COOK BOOKS WOLVES SLOT

ZACH Cook will make his Premiership debut in 2023 after agreeing a deal with Wolverhampton.

The 23-year-old Australian helped Poole to their Championship double this year and now has a top-flight team place with the Monmore side, where he will slot in at reserve.

Co-promoter Chris Van Straaten said: “We’ve got a fair few Australians already back in our line-up and when we were discussing the team for next season, Zach’s name was one which was mentioned by a couple of the existing Wolverhampton riders.

“A few of them know him well and spoke about his pedigree, his professionalism and his will to succeed which all fits in very nicely with us at Wolverhampton.

“He’s a rider we feel can improve from down in those reserve berths and he is also really looking forward to everything that lies ahead.”
