Stellar Monarchs have confirmed that Josh Pickering will be back in the Blue and Gold for next season only months after making an emotional farewell speech.

Things have changed and the popular Aussie will now continue an association which started in 2017 when Josh came to the UK for the first time.

Club chairman Alex Harkess said: “Our supporters are looking for a boost at Christmas and this news will give them just that.”

Pickering will start at No 1 in the team and he currently stands 24th in Monarchs point scoring list since the club was formed in 1948.
