EDINBURGH have completed their side for the 2017 season with the signing of Australian newcomer Josh Pickering.The 20-year-old, whose inclusion is subject to BSPA approval, has been recommended to the Monarchs by former Armadale star Max Fricke.Pickering said: “Sam (Masters) and Max have told me that Armadale can be a good track for you once you get to know it, and I’ve watched a few videos with Sam just to get an idea of what I’m looking at for when I get there so I’m not going to be shocked! “I like a challenge so it’s going to be good to get my head round it and sorted. Sam’s a good captain and a good mate so I couldn’t be happier to be riding with him.”
