Toby Radford has left his position as Head Coach of Glamorgan County Cricket Club after two seasons in the role.
Under Toby's leadership the team equalled the club's record of 4 wins in a row last summer and finished fourth in division 2 of the County Championship which was their second highest championship position in the last ten years.
Toby said: I am obviously pleased that the team showed major improvement in the past two seasons and it has been highly competitive across all formats and in all competitions.
It is disappointing for me not to be able to see the work through to its conclusion but I am confident that the wealth of home-grown young talents like David Lloyd, Aneurin Donald and Andrew Salter, all of whom are now first team regulars, gives the club huge optimism for both the immediate and long-term future. I would like to thank all of those who supported me in taking this club forward. Together we made big strides.
Glamorgan CCC Chief Executive Hugh Morris said: On behalf of the club I would like to thank Toby for the contribution he has made as Head Coach during the last two years.
His hard work and commitment to the role has been evident for all to see and under his leadership we have made an important step forward in championship cricket.
The coaching Toby has done with our young batsmen has been particularly important and I believe the players and the club will reap the benefits of this work in years to come. He leaves the club with our best wishes for the next stage of his coaching career.
Toby will now return to specialist batting coaching, a role he performed with the West Indies international team when they were crowned ICC World Twenty20 Champions in Sri Lanka in 2012.
