PIRATES COMPLETE WITH THOMSEN

POOLE have completed their line-up for 2024 with the signing of Danish rider Tobias Thomsen.

The 29-year-old spent two spells with Birmingham in the 2019 season, but has not ridden in the UK since the pandemic and now becomes the fourth new face at Wimborne Road as the Pirates seek to regain the Cab Direct Championship title.

Co-promoter Dan Ford said: “We know that Tobias is ultra-keen to make his presence felt in British Speedway and we are looking for him to add to the mid-order firepower of the team.

“He joins us on a four-point average, which is the minimum figure a Danish rider can hold.

“We are aware that he failed to attain that figure with Birmingham five years ago but he is a far better rider now and we really believe that he will make an impression that will be highly appreciated by our loyal fan base.”

POOLE 2024 (Subject to approval): Richard Lawson, Ben Cook, Tom Brennan, Zach Cook, Tobias Thomsen, Sam Hagon, Max Perry.
