Poole Pirates Danish ace Tobias Thomsen has confirmed that scheduling clashes in his dwelling nation will stop him from returning to Wimborne Street for a 3rd season in 2026.
Thomsen, who has collected 5 main trophies with the Pirates—together with this 12 months’s league and Cup double—can be unable to commit on account of his Danish League duties with Brovst, which rule him out of a number of Wednesday fixtures. In consequence, he’ll compete elsewhere within the UK subsequent season.
He defined: “I’ve now signed a UK contract, however sadly it isn’t with Poole. It’s not that I don’t wish to be a Pirate once more—I actually do—however it simply isn’t potential.
“I wish to give 100 per cent to my groups, and lacking so many conferences wouldn’t be honest. We’ve seen riders attempt to juggle this earlier than, and it merely doesn’t work.
“I wish to thank everybody at Poole for his or her help over the previous two seasons. My best speedway second up to now was the 2024 Grand Closing towards Oxford—I’ll always remember it.”
In the meantime, Poole have confirmed that 16-year-old Will Cairns will return in 2026 after a formidable debut marketing campaign within the Cab Direct Championship. He joins No.1 Richard Lawson because the membership’s first confirmed signings for subsequent season.
