Joe Weatherley Commits Future To Hampshire

Hampshire Cricket are delighted to announce that Joe Weatherley has signed a new contract extension.

The 24-year-old top-order batsman has been awarded an extended deal, keeping him at The Ageas Bowl until at least the end of 2022.

Weatherley is a product of Hampshire’s player pathway system, having featured prominently for Hampshire’s age-group, Academy and Second XI sides before making the step-up to the First Team.

First XI debuts initially arrived in 2016 as Weatherley made nine appearances for Hampshire's senior squad across all formats that summer, and the right-hander quickly became a permanent fixture in James Vince’s side just two years later.

Weatherley impressed in a regular spot at the top of the order during the 2018 season, contributing 772 runs across all formats including his first centuries for the Club in both the County Championship and 50-over competitions - the latter was a competition in which he especially thrived to help the Club secure its first limited-overs silverware in six years. 

Weatherley suffered a fractured ankle which caused an abrupt end to his 2019 campaign, but despite the COVID-19 pandemic resulting in a truncated 2020 domestic season, he bounced back from injury in excellent style, totalling 263 runs at an average of 43.83 in the inaugural Bob Willis Trophy and contributing 185 runs at an average of more than 2020 in a shortened Vitality Blast campaign.

You can catch Joe and the Hampshire squad in action all year long this season with a 2021 Hampshire Cricket Membership.
