“Woody” is a left-arm fast-medium bowler and right-handed batsman.
He began 2010 on a development contract but injuries to senior players gave him an opportunity and he played regularly for the first team, especially in the Friends Provident t20 trophy-winning team and in the Clydesdale Bank 40 competition.
He was especially effective in the latter form, taking most wickets for Hampshire at the best average, with only Danny Briggs being more economical.
His 20 wickets in T20 also represented the second best haul ever in a season for Hampshire.
In 2011, he continued his good form for the club, once again ending the CB40 campaign as the leading wicket-taker and forging a more permanent place in the club's LV= County Championship side.
But the highlights of his short career so far came in 2012 when he scored his maiden First Class hundred against Leicestershire at Grace Road, then - the following day - held his nerve in a tense final over of the Friends Life t20 Final to gift Hampshire victory at the SWALEC Stadium in Cardiff.
Still only young, he is fast turning into a genuine all-rounder and is certain to be on England's radar very soon.
