Skipper Jake Choules had the following to say about Sam’s acquisition:-
“Really excited to have signed Sam who is a player we have had our eye on for a little while. He comes with good recommendations from some of our younger players who have played school and representative cricket with him.
Whilst our senior teams are younger than many we come up against, we aren’t getting any younger. We have some great juniors coming through the system but they’re not all quite ready for adult cricket yet so our two signings this year have been made with this in mind.
I have no doubts that Sam will fit in well and contribute on the field. We hope he enjoys the rest of his time travelling before joining up with his later in the summer”.
