Apprentice jockey John Kissick, one of the brightest young talents in NSW country racing, will join Sydney's premier stable this week.

Kissick, 22, will link with three-time premiership-winning trainer Chris Waller on a three-month loan from Peter Clancy.

In confirming the move, Waller said he had been looking for a talented apprentice who could claim in both the metropolitan and provincial areas.

"He'll be good for us," Waller said.

"He's got his three kilo claim (in the city) but a claim at the provincials as well.

"He has ridden very well for us before off limited opportunities."

Waller has also been impressed by Kissick's attitude and his riding skills.

"I like his strength, his level-headedness," he said.

"I don't think he is a jockey who could fail."

Kissick will take his first rides for Waller under the new arrangement at Warwick Farm on Wednesday.

He played his part in a momentous occasion for his new boss when he won aboard Secessio at Rosehill on July 6, the day Waller set a Sydney training record.

A move to the city has long been considered a formality for Kissick who is based with Clancy in the NSW Riverina.

In spite of receiving offers earlier in his apprenticeship, Kissick resisted the temptation of a Sydney or Melbourne stint until he gained more experience on the country and provincial racing circuits.

By moving to Sydney, Kissick will follow in the footsteps of Tim Clark who also spent his formative years with Clancy.

Clark had his indentures transferred to Randwick trainer John O'Shea and won a Sydney apprentices' title.

He has recently returned to Sydney racing after riding in Hong Kong.

Kissick said he decided the time was right to make the move with eight months left of his apprenticeship.
