FORMER Poole Pirates rider Eddie Kennett has become an asset of Premier League outfit Rye House Rockets.

The 28-year-old charger, who made four guest appearances for Pirates last season, switched from Coventry Bees in a deal that saw Jason Garrity move the other way.

Kennett scored an impressive 37 points for Poole during 2014, including eight from four rides in the semi-final second-leg victory over King’s Lynn.
