Summary: A very particular case of results by K\'erchy (2007) is as follows. Let the unitary asymptote of a contraction $T$ contain the bilateral shift of multiplicity $1$. Then there exists an invariant subspace $\mathcal M$ of $T$ such that $T|_{\mathcal M}$ is similar to the unilateral shift of multiplicity $1$. The proof is based on the Sz.-Nagy--Foias functional model for contractions. In the present paper this result is generalized to polynomially bounded operators. The proof is based on a result by Bourgain (1984).
