Remembering Matthew Hobden

2 Jan 2024

Today everyone at Sussex Cricket remembers Matthew Hobden, on the anniversary of his death. 

Matthew sadly passed away on 2nd January 2016. He has made List-A debut for Sussex in 2013, before going on to make his first-class debut in 2014. 

He played 10 County Championship matches in 2015 and was named in the fast-bowling group for the Potential England Performance Programme. 

Sussex continue to honour the memory of Matthew at The 1st Central County Ground with his image displayed for all to see on the Shark Stand, as well as with a memorial tree which spectators can visit and remember him when at the ground.

Once a Shark, always a Shark. Rest in peace, Matthew.
