Alfonso Thomas and Jimmy Adams Confirmed as Assistant Coaches
Hampshire Cricket are delighted to announce the appointment of Alfonso Thomas and Jimmy Adams as new Assistant Coaches.
Thomas, the former South Africa seamer who enjoyed a 17-year playing career, including eight years with Somerset, moved into coaching following his retirement and has since held roles with Kent, Surrey, Khulna Titans – which saw him work alongside Sri Lanka legend Mahela Jayawardene - and the West Indies. He joins the Club as an Assistant Coach and will work closely with the squad’s bowlers.
Former Hampshire captain Adams, who amassed more than 20,000 runs in a career spanning 16 years and 491 matches for the Club before retiring at the end of the 2018 season, also becomes an Assistant Coach and will focus on the Hampshire Second XI.
Both roles will allow current Head of Player Development, Charlie Freeston, to work solely with the Hampshire Academy.

I’m very excited to be joining such a successful Club and talented group of players - I’m really looking forward to getting to know the guys and joining up with Adi, Jimmy and Giles during pre-season and can’t wait to get started ahead of the new season.
Alfonso Thomas
I shared some great experiences here at Hampshire during my playing career and I’m really excited about the opportunity to continue contributing in a coaching capacity alongside Adi, Alfonso and the rest of the group.
