Henry Crocombe signs two-year contract extension

Sussex Cricket is delighted to announce that fast-bowler Henry Crocombe has signed a two-year contract extension with the Club.

The announcement is the second in two days, following yesterday’s news that Jack Carson signed a three-year contract extension to stay at The 1st Central County Ground.

Like Jack Carson, Crocombe is a product of the Sussex Academy and at 21 years of age, is now playing regular first team cricket for Sussex.

In 27 first-class matches he has amassed 52 wickets at an economy of 3.61.

In the County Championship this season he already has 14 wickets to his name, just one away from equalling his tally from the entirety of last season.

Crocombe has also proven a useful asset with the ball in T20 cricket, taking 7 wickets in each of the last two campaigns.

Speaking on the Henry’s extension, Sussex Head Coach, Paul Farbrace said: “Henry has really kicked on this year and is developing into an excellent bowler.

“He has learnt a lot about himself this season and we are really excited by the potential he has, and how he’s turning that potential into performance. 

“We are all really pleased he has chosen to commit the next couple of seasons to our exciting on field project at Sussex.”

Henry Crocombe, added: “I am delighted to have signed an extension with my childhood Club. I am looking forward to the next two years and hopefully we can bring some silverware back to Sussex.”

The promotion hunt continues 

Sussex return to red-ball action on Monday 10th July, taking on Derbyshire at The 1st Central County Ground. Sussex sit in second place and are yet to taste defeat this season, with promotion in their sights.
