POOLE boss Danny Ford believes they can “unlock the potential” of new signing Fraser Bowes.
The Wessex Marine Pirates swooped for the talented Aussie after his promising first UK season at Workington.
Bowes, 23, produced one of his finest performances for the Comets at Wimborne Road last July and comes in on a 5.63 average.
Ford believes the capture of Bowes will be beneficial for the club and rider alike. He said: “Fraser is another exciting Aussie to join the Pirates, and he immediately showed he liked the look of Wimborne Road when he visited last season.
“With a year of Championship racing behind him, and experience of almost every track now under his belt, we believe that once he gets properly dialled into our place we can really unlock his potential.”
Speaking from Australia, Bowes expressed his delight in becoming a Pirate. He added: “I would like to thank Matt and Danny Ford, Middlo (Neil Middleditch) and Havvy (Gary Havelock) for making this happen. I really enjoyed my visits to Wimborne Road and with it being a technical track I am really looking forward to riding there every week next season.”
