Tigers Sign Exciting Young Duo
(Posted 28/12/07)

Tigers fans got a welcome festive boost with the announcement of two more riders for 2008, Josh Grajczonek and Mitchell Davey. Both are exciting young Australians who are widely recognised as hot prospects in speedway and had attracted interest from other clubs both in the UK and on mainland Europe.

Josh is the current Queensland Under-21 champion, Mitchell finishing runner up to him (a report on the meeting from last month can be seen here). He got quite a bit of coverage in the speedway star last year and was seen as one of the main signing targets for UK clubs looking to bring in young Australians for 2008. He will also be riding in the Australian Championships this year alongside Robert Ksiezak - the first round being at Mildura tomorrow.

Mitchell came over to the UK last year for a months holiday and managed to get some track action in at various different tracks where he obviously impressed. He was scheduled to have a spin at Ashfield but unfortunately the rain put paid to his visit. However the promotion saw him after the away meeting at King's Lynn and were obviously very impressed with what they saw. He too will be at the Australian Championships as one of the reserves.

The Tigers promotion have definitely gone for building for the future with these two signings and they are signings which will excite the fans. They will need time to settle but the Glasgow fans have never found that a problem and both have been signed on two year deals.
