KRZYSZTOF Kasprzak has admitted Pirates are his first love after being recalled by the club in place of injured Bjarne Pedersen.
The former world under-21 champion originally joined Poole in 2003 and starred for them up until 2006.
But he was loaned by Lakeside the following year and missed out to Davey Watt for a berth with the Dorset club at the beginning of this season.
Kasprzak, who has a home in Poole, wears his heart on his sleeve when it comes to his parent club.
It's no secret that he puts Castle Cover Pirates at the top of his list of British clubs he would like to ride for every year.
The Pole, who scored 10 points from four rides on his comeback in Poole's 53-39 home league win over Swindon on Monday, said: "I'm happy to be back with Pirates.

"When Matt Ford wants me, he wants me to get points for Poole and I'll try my best to do that.
"I'm proud and very happy to be riding for Poole again. This club is the best for me.
"I always want to stay at Poole. But there is no (permanent) place for me so I'm grateful to get these rides."
Asked if he was hoping his May workout for Pirates would be a platform for a more permanent team place, Kasprzak said: "We'll see.
"If there is no place for me at Poole I'll have to look at it differently."
Kasprzak, whose high 8.68 average put Elite League clubs off signing him at the beginning of this term, added: "My aim is to score a maximum in every meeting.
"I want to just ride as well as I can for Poole. I made a mistake in heat one against Swindon on Monday because there was a lot of water on the outside of the track and Leigh (Adams) went up the inside of me.
"If I hadn't made that mistake I could have got more points, but I don't mind too much because Poole won as a team so I'm happy."
Pedersen, nursing two breaks in his left wrist, is targeting a Pirates return at Peterborough on June 4.
As well as missing a crucial period for injury ravaged Poole the Dane has resigned himself to falling further behind his competitors in the World Championship race.
Pedersen, last with only four points after the opener in Slovenia, hopes he will only have to sit out the European Grand Prix at Leszno on Saturday and the Swedish GP at Gothenburg on May 26.
He said: "I just want to prepare myself 100 per cent to get back on the track and take it from there."
