FORMER Somerset star Nick Morris will guest for Poole Pirates when they travel to the Oak Tree Arena for a one-off challenge meeting with the Rebels on Friday.

The Swindon rider is set to take place of fellow Aussie Chris Holder, who will be at practice in Torun, Poland ahead of the first round of the Best Pairs Cup on Saturday.

Poole will operate rider replacement in the absence of skipper Maciej Janowski, who will be practising for Polish club Wroclaw ahead of their domestic campaign.

Paul Starke is due to line up for parent club Somerset so Scunthorpe charger Ellis Perks will guest in his place.
