Michael Rutter will race at T.T. 2009.
The popular Midlands rider will compete for the Rob Mac Racing Yamaha Team managed by former three-time winner Rob McElnea.
Rutter won the 1998 Junior T.T. and has been on the podium a total of nine times.
He didn't compete around the Mountain Course for seven years until he returned for the Centenary event in 2007, where he was troubled by a wrist injury and mechanical issues.
