Joe Weatherley Commits To New Contract Extension

Hampshire Cricket are delighted to announce that batsman Joe Weatherley has signed a new contract extension.

The 23-year-old has put pen-to-paper on an extended deal, committing his future to the club.

Born in Winchester, Weatherley is a product of the club’s player pathway system and having representing Hampshire at age group and academy level – as well as captaining England U19s -, he has gone on to feature prominently as part of the first-team squad.

After making a handful of appearances following his first-team debut in 2016 and subsequently in 2017, the right-hander enjoyed an excellent 2018 campaign, totalling 772 runs across all formats whilst also recording maiden centuries in both the County Championship and the One-Day Cup. Weatherley was also an important part of the triumphant Royal London One-Day Cup side that claimed victory at Lord’s in May 2018.

The young batsman had made a positive start to the County Championship in 2019, totalling 341 runs over his first nine innings to begin the campaign, before a fractured ankle cut-short his season in July.

The best way to catch Joe and the rest of the Hampshire squad in action all season long is with a 2020 Hampshire Cricket Membership.
