All set for 2009!: Richard Sweetman (l) and Cory Gathercole the final two to complete the 2009 Swindon Speedway team

Both Gathercole and Sweetman will combine their Elite league duties with full time berths in the Premier league at Somerset and Birmingham respectively.

The inclusion of two means Swindon's 2009 squad includes five Australian riders.

"Both Cory and Richard are young talented riders who are full of ability." said Swindon team manager Alun Rossiter.

 

"The club fully believe in them and we’re delighted to offer them the opportunity to become members of our 2009 squad.

 

"Cory and Richard look to have exciting futures in the sport and I’ll be hoping to see progress from them both at both Elite and Premier levels next season."
