THE Isle of Wight have announced Harland Cook will return to the sport in a reserve berth with the Warriors next season.28-year-old Cook has previous experience at National League level from spells with Sittingbourne and Rye House, and has continued to enjoy success in grasstrack racing.Warriors manager Jackie Vatcher said: “We tried to get Harland on board last season but unfortunately it was not possible. So, for us now to be able to get our number one reserve target, everyone at the club is delighted. “Harland does have a bit of speedway experience but we will give him a few meetings to get dialled in then we are confident he will be a trump card for the Warriors and replicate his grass success on the shale.”
