PIRATES star Josh Grajczonek has agreed to ride in the Cumberland Open Championship at Workington.

The former Comets racer joins the likes of Kyle Howarth and Ricky Wells in the line-up for the event on Saturday, March 31.

Grajczonek is due to ride in Pirates' Knockout Cup double header against Somerset the previous day.

The Aussie has won back-to-back SGB Championship titles but is not racing in Britain's second tier in 2018.
