Henry Crocombe extends contract

Henry Crocombe Signs New Contract Extension 

Sussex Cricket is delighted to announce that Henry Crocombe has committed his future to the Club with a contract extension.

The 23-year-old fast bowler will remain with his home County until at least the end of the 2026 season.

Another product of the Sussex Cricket Pathway, Crocombe made his debut at the age of just 19 in the 2020 Bob Willis Trophy. Since then, he has gone on to make 36 first-class appearances, claiming 69 wickets.

In 2024, Crocombe played a pivotal role in Sussex's promotion campaign, helping the team secure promotion back to Division One of the County Championship. 

His performance in September, where he claimed 4-22 runs in just 6.1 overs against Gloucestershire, was instrumental in sealing Sussex's return to the top flight in thrilling fashion in Bristol.

Those performances towards the end of the season resulted in a maiden selection for the England Lions over the winter. 

 Speaking on the new deal, Crocombe, said: “I am delighted to have signed an extension at my boyhood club Sussex. I love playing here and it was amazing to play a part in winning Division Two last year. 

“I can’t wait to get going in Division One this season and show how strong our squad is and what we can do as a team!”

Sussex Men’s Head Coach, Paul Farbrace, added: “We are all delighted that Henry has extended his contract to stay at Hove for at least the next two seasons. 

“Henry has made huge strides on and off the field in the last eighteen months, and it was brilliant to see him playing a key part in the final part of the promotion season. 

“Henry has worked incredibly hard with James Kirtley to make sure he has a technique that allows him to be more consistent, whilst being able to maintain his high level of pace.

“We are all looking forward to seeing Henry start this coming season and build on the end to the 2024 season.”
