Ryan Stevenson Signs New Contract Extension 

Hampshire Cricket are delighted to announce that Ryan Stevenson has signed a new contract extension.

The paceman has been awarded an extended deal which will see him remain at the The Ageas Bowl until at least the end of 2021.

A sharp right-armer seamer, Stevenson joined the club in 2015 after catching the eye of Director of Cricket, Giles White, at a minor counties match for Devon. He immediately impressed for the Club’s Second XI before making his first-team debut in a crucial County Championship fixture against Durham that summer.

Stevenson continued to progress in 2016, making his List-A debut against Essex Eagles in the Royal London One Day Cup, until a significant back injury cut-short his second season and also reduced any involvement in the following 2017 campaign.

He bounced back excellently in 2018 though, contributing in excellent performances across 10 Vitality Blast fixtures and throughout the summer for Hampshire Second XI, before leading the attack which claimed the Second XI Championship title, including a five-wicket haul in the competition final, in 2019. He also made appearances in the Vitality Blast and County Championship that year, recording a career-best and maiden first-class fifty against Surrey.

In a truncated 2020 campaign, Stevenson featured prominently once again, providing a reliable option with the ball in two Bob Willis Trophy fixtures and nine Vitality Blast contests.
