Summary

A competitive and level-headed attacking leg-spin bowler and lower-order batsman, I've proven myself as a key asset with the ball for a number of clubs throughout my career, contributing to succesful individual and team performances.


Having been fortunate to develop my skills early in Premier League and County Representative cricket for Essex, I've been able to draw on that to establish myself as a senior player, who is now hungry to test myself in another unfamiliar environment this winter as well as throwing myself fully into the culture of club life.
