Welsh wicketkeeper-batter Alex Horton has penned a new one-year contract extension with Glamorgan that will see him remain at the Club until at least 2025.
Horton signed his original deal as a 16-year-old, and the Academy product has made his debut in both T20 and List A cricket in that time.
A wicketkeeper with sharp hands, coupled with his hard-hitting in the middle order, has made him one to watch for the future at Glamorgan, and has taken his chance to impress when the opportunity arose.
He has played seven List A games and four T20 games for Glamorgan, most notably hitting a match-winning 44* off 25 balls in the thrilling win in our final Metro Bank One Day Cup game of the 2023 season against Northamptonshire.
Alex Horton on signing a new deal: “I feel really good. It is amazing to sign a new contract with Glamorgan and I am looking forward to seeing what next season holds.
“Making a start last season with my first team debuts and playing in the One Day Cup was nice, and I am hoping to carry that on next season and play a few more games for my home County.”
Director of cricket, Mark Wallace, said: “It’s great news that Alex has re-signed for the next two years.
“We are very lucky with the wicket-keepers that we have at the club and we look forward to seeing Alex continue to develop his talent here over the next few years.”
