POOLE have confirmed the signing of former Peterborough and Coventry rider Linus Sundstrom (pictured).
The Swede will join the Pirates this year after the Polish League agreed to drop its stance over riders competing in the Extraleague being restricted to racing in a maximum of three European leagues. Poole promoter Matt Ford said: “The first rider I contacted after the AGM in November was Linus, so it's been a game of patience to get this deal over the line. “I'm relieved and excited by this signing and I feel we have a very competitive team to lead us into our 70th anniversary year. “Linus is excited to join the club in its platinum season and I know he will fit in superbly with the other riders in this team. I think our supporters are in for a real treat watching him on the Poole shale.”
