Sam has great experience in local cricket and has played for several local clubs, County Age Group teams, and now plays for Cumbria County Cricket’s Senior Men’s team.

We are excited to see Sam bring his experience to the team, and are certain his skillset will see great development programmes being run in eastern Cumbria.

Upon his appointment, Sam said: “I can’t wait to get started in this role. There is so much untapped potential in cricket in Cumbria, and I’m looking forward to playing my part in developing that.”

Cumbria Cricket Managing Director, Bob Simpson, said: “Sam’s passion for cricket stood out during his interview, as well as his ambition to grow participation of our game across Cumbria, ensuring everyone can say cricket is a game for them. I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank Sam’s predecessor Fraser Conn and wish him all the best in his new chapter – he inspired so many to pick up a bat and ball.”
