Young Fast Bowler Manny Lumsden Signs First Pro Contract With Hampshire

17-year-old quick bowler Manny Lumsden has put pen to paper on a two-year deal

Hampshire pace bowler Manny Lumsden has signed his first pro contract with the club, penning a two-year deal.

Lumsden, 17, was part of England’s U19 World Cup squad that reached the final against India earlier this year.

He was the leading wicket-taker in the whole of the tournament with 16 wickets, with his best figures of 5/17 coming against New Zealand.

For Hampshire, Lumsden made his debut against Glamorgan in the Metro Bank One-Day Cup and took three wickets.

I’m incredibly pleased to sign on pro terms with Hampshire, I have learnt masses as part of the pathway and Academy and loved being part of the squad last year. I owe so much to everyone who has aided my development, and I am excited to be part of the squad.

Manny Lumsden

Born in 2008, Lumsden joined the Hampshire Academy in 2023 and featured in the Bunbury Festival the same year.

Since then, he has taken 22 wickets in 15 matches for the Second XI and made his senior debut in August 2025.

He claimed six wickets in three One-Day Cup matches, claiming 3/64 on debut against Glamorgan as Hampshire went on to reach the final of the competition.

Manny is a hugely exciting fast bowler, and we’re delighted to award him a professional contract. He’s got huge potential which he showed last season with us in the One Day Cup, but also in the U19s World Cup in January where he was the leading wicket taker. We’re excited to see what he can do with the club over the next couple of years.

Charlie Freeston, Head of Player Development

On the international stage, Lumsden has played 18 times for England U19s; he debuted for the Young Lions in an intra-squad match at Loughborough in 2025 and was part of the tour to the West Indies last November.
