Joe Weatherley Signs Contract Extension

Hampshire Cricket batter Joe Weatherley has signed a one-year contract extension, which will see Joe remain at Utilita Bowl until at least the end of 2025.

Weatherley was born in Winchester and is another product of Hampshire’s successful youth system.

He made his debut for Hampshire during the 2016 season but secured a regular place in the side during the 2018 season, scoring 772 runs across all formats including first centuries in both the County Championship and the victorious Royal London Cup campaign.

In recent years, Weatherley has shone in white-ball cricket as a vital member of the Hampshire Hawks Vitality Blast side. In 2022 he contributed 347 runs as the Hawks were crowned champions for the third time.

The following season he reinforced his credentials as one of the country’s most prolific T20 players, hitting 379 runs at an average of 42 as the Hawks made it to a third consecutive Finals Day.

Weatherley was the leading run scorer for the Hawks in 2024 with 324 runs at an average of 36 and a top score of 68 not out against Sussex at Utilita Bowl. The right-hander also featured three times in the Metro Bank One Day Cup, with a top score of 93 against Derbyshire.

From 2021-2023, no one scored more middle order runs in the Vitality Blast than Weatherley. His 1,104 besting Warwickshire’s Sam Hain (1,027) and Middlesex’s Leus Du Plooy (1,024).

Signed by Southern Brave in 2023, Weatherley made a century against Surrey at Guildford on his return to the One-Day Cup squad, as he helped the team reach a third 50-over final in five years.

The best way to see Joe in action is with a Hampshire Cricket Membership. Memberships for 2025 are on sale now with more information available via the link below.
