Salter Signs New Contract

11 Apr 2016 | Cricket
Glamorgan spinner Andrew Salter says he is delighted to sign a three-year contract extension with the club.

Off-spinner Salter, 22, has played 24 first-class matches for the Welsh County, taking 43 wickets and scoring 584 runs.
 
The new contract means he will play at The SSE SWALEC until at least 2019, after establishing himself in the first team across all formats last season.
 
Salter, speaking after signing the contract, said: “To say I’m pleased is an understatement, it’s something I have been working hard for and I’m pleased to make that commitment. I’m absolutely chuffed.
 
'There's definitely something special about playing for Glamorgan and wearing the daff. It's what I've always wanted to do since I started playing for Wales under-11's with Alan Jones as my coach. It's a great opportunity and I hope to take it with both hands.'
 
“There’s a good vibe around the camp at the moment, so I’m feeling optimistic about this season and looking forward to the challenges that lie ahead.”
 
Pembrokeshire-born Salter started his County Championship career in the best possible fashion on debut in August 2013, when he took a wicket with his first ball.
 
Glamorgan Chief Executive Hugh Morris said it was great news for the club.
 
He said: "We are delighted that Andrew Salter has signed a new contract with Glamorgan.
 
“He is a Welsh player who has come through our own development programme and has already gained some valuable first team experience.
 
“One of the club’s objectives is to identify and develop the next generation of Glamorgan stars and Andrew is a home grown cricketer who is very capable of succeeding and achieving honours with the club in the future.”
