Matt finish as Marson completes Pirates' 2025 line-up

Promoter Danny Ford described as a “positive step” the temporary signing of Matt Marson for the beginning of Poole Pirates’ 2025 season.

The Aussie racer is set to join the defending SGB Championship title holders on a 2.00 average.

Marson has signed for the Pirates on a temporary basis, with rising star William Cairns set to take over once he becomes eligible for a professional licence on 29th June.

Speaking about the signing, Ford said: "We’re delighted to welcome Matt to Poole.

“This is a opportunity for him to gain valuable Championship experience and showcase his talent on this stage.

“Both parties see this as a positive step. Matt is eager to make his mark and put himself in the shop window, and we’re confident he’ll make the most of his time with us.

“Our amazing supporters will undoubtedly give him a warm welcome at Wimborne Road."

The signing of Marson means Poole have completed their line-up to begin the season.

Richard Lawson, Lewis Kerr, Zach Cook, Anders Rowe, Tobias Thomsen and Paul Starke complete the line-up.
