Swindon Robins announce arrival of Emil Grondal and Zach Wajtknecht

Two new signings, Emil Grondal and Jack Wajtknecht, have been confirmed by Swindon Robins boss Alun Rossiter.

This means that the Robins now have just one place remaining in their squad now ahead of the new SGB Premiership season that will get underway in March of this year.

Jason Doyle, Nick Morris, Adam Ellis and David Bellego are the other members of the roster.

21-year-old Dane Grondal made his bow in British racing in 2015 with Peterborough and has made steady progress since his arrival.

Meanwhile 18-year-old Wajtknecht, from Bristol, is also heading into his third season on the shale after picking up invaluable experience with Somerset last year and is a back-to-back National League Champion with Birmingham.

Robins boss Alun Rossiter said: "Both of these signings really excite me and they're two riders who are only going to get better week by week I feel.

"They're both young but they're both very keen and eager to learn and progress and they have both got some real good amounts of potential.

"They also present themselves very professionally and after speaking to them about the equipment they'll be running I was even more encouraged and impressed.

"They both come on high recommendations; Bjarne Pedersen speaks very highly of Emil and Adam Ellis, who rode with Zach at Birmingham, has only got good words to say about Wajtknecht too.

"Zach is a rider we'd looked at previously and with a lot of like-for-like riders at reserve in other teams, he's got a chance to show everyone what he can do this year.

"With the right people around them, these pair could be two real trump cards for us on relatively low averages and we feel that they are good additions to our line-up.

"The jigsaw is almost complete now and we're just waiting on a few things before we finalise our last rider.
