Glamorgan Cricket is happy to announce that all-rounder Dan Douthwaite has penned a new three-year contract extension with the club.
The new deal will see the 24-year-old remain with the Welsh county until at least the end of the 2024 season.
Douthwaite signed for the club in 2019 after starring for Cardiff MCCU where he struck a maiden first-class century against Sussex before scoring 95 against Glamorgan in a three-day friendly at Sophia Gardens.
He hit the ground running for Glamorgan later that season, putting in some impressive performances in both red-ball and white-ball cricket.
Douthwaite smashed an unbeaten 52 as Glamorgan chased down 347 to pull off an unlikely two-wicket win over Sussex in the Royal London One-Day Cup - the Welsh county's highest successful run-chase in limited-overs cricket.
He then took a first-class career-best 4/48 against Derbyshire at Derby to help Glamorgan to victory in the County Championship, whilst his maiden first-class half-century for the club helped to save the game against Sussex.
The big-hitting all-rounder has gone on to make 29 appearances for the Welsh county across all three formats, scoring 658 runs and taking 37 wickets with his brisk seam bowling.
On signing his new contract, Dan Douthwaite, said: “It’s a long extension which is quite rare but I’m really excited to commit my future to the club and it means they have a lot of faith in me too which I’m very keen to repay.
“There’s nowhere I’d rather be than playing for Glamorgan with this team and in front of our fantastic supporters.
“The last two years have been an amazing experience, and I didn’t think I’d play as much first team cricket as I have but in stands me in good stead for the future and to kick-on with the club.”
Director of cricket, Mark Wallace, said: “Dan has shown that he’s a very talented cricketer and can perform with both bat and ball across all three formats.
“He’s developed very quickly as a player since he joined us and we’re looking forward to seeing that progress continue over the next few years.
“For Dan it’s about consistency of performance and working with Matt and his coaching staff will bring that to his game and make him the match-winner we know he can be.”
