JOSH Grajczonek feels he has a point to prove when he returns to the Swindon Robins after being announced as Alun Rossiter’s fifth signing of the close season.

The Aussie was part of Swindon’s team in 2011 but his campaign was cut short after a horrific accident when riding for Glasgow Tigers.

Grajczonek ended up breaking his femur after ploughing into the fence at Plymouth Devils’ Coypool Road track.

The 25-year-old has admitted that he has taken a while to recover from the injury, with the problem not being sorted until two years after the crash.

However, having won the Elite League crown with Poole Pirates before knocking out Swindon en route to the final with Belle Vue last season, Grajczonek is confident Robins fans will see his best.

“It should be good and I am really looking forward to heading back to Swindon,” he said.

“I rode there a few years ago but I broke my femur and my campaign was cut short, so I am looking forward to getting a full season under my belt and seeing how it goes. Hopefully we will make the play-offs.

“That injury set me back a couple of years and I am only just kicking on now.

“It was definitely going to be a good year up until then.

“I was coming into a corner and I was going to go around two of the Plymouth boys because we needed just a three-all to get the win.

“I got past one but as I was going around the second, he picked up and had nowhere to go – at Plymouth there was no room for error – and he put me in the fence and I just felt my femur pop and that was me all over.

“It is the biggest bone in your body, so it is a tough one to get over.

“I think I only got the rot out in 2013 and that is where I kicked on with Poole and had a decent season.

“I stayed with Poole and won the league before going to Belle Vue this year and got second in the league.

“At the time when it happened, it wasn’t very good and wasn’t very comfortable but it has been good since.”

Grajczonek becomes the third Australian in the Robins side for the 2016 campaign and comes in on a 6.00 average, leaving team boss Alun Rossiter with a 13.23 average to play with for the remaining two riders in his septet.

“Rosco has put together a really good team, so it should be a good season ahead,” added the Aussie.

“It’s not so much about me.

“From what Rosco has told me about the team he is trying to put together, then it sounds like we have got a good bunch of guys, all capable of improving our averages.

“We will have a few Aussies in there, so we always keep close to each other and it should be good.”
