Swindon Robins have confirmed that they already have Croatian starlet Jurica Pavlic signed up for 2009 season.

Pavlic was one of the most sought after young riders in the world when Swindon managed to persuade him to join them midway through this season.

The Croat has burst onto the season in spectacular fashion and despite being at reserve is already averaging over eight.

"It was always the aim of the club to ensure that Jurica returned for a full season in 2009," said Robins boss Alun Rossiter.

"We are naturally delighted that Jurica has decided Swindon is the right club for him to fully launch his British career.

"Jurica's inclusion in the 2009 squad is very exciting for Swindon Speedway.

"During his short time with the club he has shown remarkable talent, flair, speed and skill.

"The supporters are in for a real treat next year as Jurica continues to improve as a rider, I think he can go a long way in speedway."
