RICKY Wells (pictured), recently released by Belle Vue, has quickly found a new Premiership home after agreeing a deal with Poole.
The Pirates have taken the American on board as a replacement for Nikolaj Busk Jakobsen, who has missed three fixtures recently because of illness. Co-promoter Danny Ford said: "Nikolaj's illness has set him back and we felt it best if he was given some time to recover fully without the strain of travelling to and from Britain. "Ricky has performed superbly since being released by Belle Vue at the end of June. He has been excellent coming in as a guest and now we also have Nico (Covatti) back from injury, I think they will play a big role for us at reserve for the remainder of the season."
