Ty Proctor, Workington Comets captain when they closed in 2018, has joined Berwick for the coming season.
The Australian’s signing completes the Bandits’ Championship line-up for 2022.
He joins Berwick after taking time out of the sport having started with the Leicester Lions in 2021, and he is the final member of a Shielfield Park side which also comprises two other former Comets in Ricky Wells and Workington-based Kyle Bickley.
Proctor had been skipper of Comets’ hugely successful final season although he missed the climax through injury.
Team manager Tony Jackson said: “He was injured in the first leg of the Shield final and so missed the second leg, along with both legs of the play-off final and KO Cup final.
“However he attended and still played a vital role in the pits in those other five final legs.”
Chris Harris, Theo Pijper, Leon Flint and Jye Etheridge will complete the Berwick line-up.
Their manager Gary Flint said: “I am really happy to welcome Ty to Berwick. Our one-to-seven is looking very strong, and I am excited to get the show on the road now.
“Ty’s track record in the UK has been very solid, and only injuries and a recent brief hiatus from the sport have really held him back at all, but he has come to the right club to reach his full potential once again.
“On his day he beats anybody in the league on any track, and that is a team manager’s dream.”
