Josh Grajczonek (born 5 February 1990) is an Australian speedway rider.

Career

Born in Townsville, Queensland, Grajczonek's big break in British Speedway came as an 18 year old with the Glasgow Tigers. During 4 years with the team he won his first major trophy as a Speedway rider, the 2011 Premier League. For the majority of his time in Britain he has 'doubled-up' riding for a team in both the Elite League and the Premier League. After spells with both the Belle Vue Aces and the Swindon Robins in the Elite League, Grajczonek is now best known for a very successful couple of years riding for the Poole Pirates. In 2 full seasons with the team he's won the Elite League on both occasions. Despite being a part of such a successful period with the club he was initially left out of the teams plans for the 2015 season and it looked as though he would be left without an Elite League club for the 2015 season. However after an unfortunate injury to fellow Australian Davey Watt shortly before the start of the season Poole turned to Grajczonek and drafted him in as a temporary replacement.[1]
