Work Permit Delay
(Posted 02/02/08)

It was confirmed last night that the work permits are not yet through for Josh Grajczonek and Mitchell Davey but the promotion emphasised that they do not see this as a major concern.

Obviously it would be better if they were through especially as both youngsters are nervously awaiting the confirmation that everything is in order but it is seen only as formality.

Unfortunately the transfer deadline day for football players has had an adverse affect on the processing of work permits with these being given priority over the last week or so.

There are around 12 Australian riders awaiting work permits, including Josh and Mitchell but the DoE have confirmed that both youngsters meet the criteria and it is there fore seen as just a matter of time before these come through.
