Zach Lion-Cachet and Henry Rogers Sign Rookie Contract Extensions

Sussex Cricket is delighted to announce that both Zach Lion-Cachet and Henry Rogers have signed extensions to their Rookie contracts.

Both players have had their deals extended for another year at Sussex.

Zach Lion-Cachet is another product of the talent development partnership between Oxfordshire and Sussex Cricket, a partnership that has seen the likes of James Coles and Harrison Ward also break into the Sussex Men’s First Team in recent seasons.

Since signing as a Rookie at Sussex, Lion-Cachet has featured in 6 List-A games for the Sharks since 2023, making 85 runs at an average of 23.38. 

In 2023, he became the first player to hit centuries for Oxfordshire in all three formats of the game. 

Lion-Cachet said: “I’m very happy to extend my time at Sussex and have loved being a part of the squad this year.

“The team and coaching staff have created a great environment to be around every day and I’m looking forward to continuing to improve and learn from everyone. 

“Hopefully I can contribute to more success for Sussex in the future.”

Henry Rogers made his first-team debut for the Sharks in this year’s Metro Bank One Day Cup campaign, accumulating 75 runs, with a top score of 35 against Glamorgan at Neath.

He also made 5 appearances for the England U19s in 2023, making a half-century on his debut in a 209-run victory over Ireland. 

Rogers said: “I’m absolutely delighted to have resigned with Sussex for another year.

“Having been with the Club my whole life it’s a huge privilege to continue this journey. 

“The Club is in a really great place, and I look forward to being a part of it next year.”

Paul Farbrace added: “I am delighted that both Zach and Henry have extended their stay with us at Hove. 

“Both are very talented lads, and certainly have potential. This year has been about learning to be a professional, next year we will be looking at them both kicking their games on and challenging for a place in the first team squad. 

“It’s great having potential, and that has to be matched by hard work and desire, now is the test for both Zach and Henry to show they want to compete at the next level.”
