Reece Topley Signs New Contract Extension

Hampshire Cricket are delighted to announce that seamer Reece Topley has signed a new contract extension with the club.

Topley, who joined Hampshire from Essex ahead of the 2016 season, has put pen to paper on a new deal keeping him at the The Ageas Bowl until at least the end of 2018.

Hand and back injuries prevented the left-armer from featuring prominently for the side in his opening season, but with Topley having made a full recovery, he’s likely to be a key component of the squad throughout the upcoming campaign.

Topley possesses impressive statistics at domestic level so far in his career, having claimed a total of 271 wickets at an average of just 23.57 across all formats. 

The 6ft 7in bowler has also impressed at International level, having represented England in 16 limited-overs fixtures so far in his career – including during the most recent World IT20 tournament in March 2016 – taking 21 wickets at an average of 30.11.

Topley is currently preparing for the upcoming season alongside other First Team members in Barbados, as part of the club’s annual pre-season tour.
