George Garton, Tom Haines and Delray Rawlins sign contract extensions

Sussex Cricket is delighted to announce that George Garton, Tom Haines and Delray Rawlins have all signed contract extensions with the club.

The trio impressed throughout the shortened 2020 season, with highlights including Garton’s maiden first-class five-fer, Haines’ stunning century against Surrey at The Kia Oval and Rawlins taking career-best T20 bowling figures against Kent Spitfires.

In total, Garton took 12 wickets in the Bob Willis Trophy, and was our leading wicket-taker in the Vitality Blast with 14 dismissals.

The 23-year-old also scored 210 runs across both formats, including an unbeaten 54* against Hampshire in the Bob Willis Trophy and a match-winning 34* against Middlesex in the Blast.

Tom Haines also showcased the bright future he has throughout the first-class season, and scored a memorable century against Surrey in the final Bob Willis Trophy match of the summer.

His fabulous 117* took the 21-year-old’s season total to 249 runs and his career total to 832, while with the ball, Haines took two wickets.

Rawlins was another Sussex youngster to impress with both bat and ball this summer, scoring 460 runs and taking 11 wickets across both formats.

The 23-year-old’s highest first-class score was 65 and came against Surrey, while the Bermudian’s best Blast showing came against Kent Spitfires, which saw Rawlins take career-best T20 figures of 3-21 and hit a vital 62*.

Performance Director, Keith Greenfield said: “George has had a fantastic summer and is showing the match-winning capabilities we all know he has.

“Tom and Delray again have both shown the talent and potential they have, and were given more support and match time to add the consistency to make regular match-winning contributions for the club.

“We’re delighted that George, Tom and Delray have extended their stays with Sussex.”
