Glamorgan are pleased to announce the signing of seam-bowling allrounder Ned Leonard from Somerset on a two-year contract.
Leonard joined Glamorgan on loan in August 2024 after impressing in Somerset’s Metro Bank One Day Cup campaign and has featured in four out of the last five Vitality County Championship games of the season.
The right-arm fast medium bowler joined Somerset’s Academy in 2018 before they gave him his first professional contract in September 2020, the same year he made his England U19 debut. Leonard made his First Class and List A debuts for Somerset in 2021.
With pace and the ability to generate movement both in the air and off the pitch, Leonard will be one to watch in the Glamorgan bowling line-up next season.
Commenting on his move to Glamorgan, Leonard said: “I’m very excited to be joining Glamorgan!
“I have absolutely loved my time during the end of the County Championship season, so I’m really looking forward to joining up with the team in November, developing my game and helping to build on the success that Glamorgan have had this year!”
Glamorgan Director of Cricket, Mark Wallace said: “Ned is a talented young player with high potential to have a long and successful career in front of him.
“We’ve been tracking his progress for a while and he impressed while on loan at the end of the season. We’re delighted to have him joining us full-time in Wales.”
