AUSTRALIAN duo Nick Morris and Josh Grajczonek have joined Somerset as the Rebels close in on their full line-up for the 2013 Premier League season.Morris was a member of the Scunthorpe team which defeated Somerset in this years play-off Final, whilst Grajczonek comes in from Glasgow. They join 2012 returnees Jason Doyle, Alex Davies, Kyle Newman and Tom Perry with one spot to be filled.Promoter Debbie Hancock said: In recent years Somerset have had the reputation of putting a team together that was not only capable of challenging for honours but one that would also be entertaining to watch, and I believe that this team certainly ticks all the boxes as far as that is concerned.It is always sad to see riders leave from one season to the next, but the points limit meant that changes to the 2012 team were inevitable, such is the nature of the sport, but I am sure that our fans will quickly warm to our new riders once they have donned the Rebel colours when the 2013 season gets underway next March.
