18 Dec 2023 | Cricket

Batting all-rounder Ben Kellaway has signed a three-year contract extension that will see him extend his stay at Glamorgan until at least 2026.

The 19-year-old burst onto the scene this year, making his debut for the Club in all three formats, and having a stunning showing in the Metro Bank One Day Cup earlier this year.

Having made his T20 debut against local rivals Gloucestershire after impressing in the 2nd XI, he then made his List A debut against Worcestershire and didn’t look back, making a composed 82 on debut.

He then lit up the rest of the tournament with both bat and ball, including a rapid half-century and capturing three wickets against Warwickshire in Neath. He scored 195 runs and took 13 wickets in the competition and showed his quality throughout.

He was then rewarded with his first-class debut against Worcestershire, and the young Welshman is already making waves at the Club and is an exciting talent for the future.

Ben Kellaway said: “I am obviously, really delighted, it has been a really special first year at the Club, and I am just really excited to be continuing my journey over the next couple of years.”

“It was quite surreal last year. The targets I set myself early on have been exceeded pretty well I would say but, there is work to do. Making my debut in each format was the highlight of my whole season.

“I'm looking forward to next year, hopefully getting more opportunities to contribute to the team in 2024."

Director of Cricket, Mark Wallace said: “Ben has already enjoyed some success in his short career at the club and we’re delighted that he’s re-signed at the club for the next three years.

“Ben will balance University with his time with us and we look forward to him continuing his development here moving forward.”
