Following on from the deals for Tom Wood and Ben Aitchison, we heard that Matt Critchley had signed a two-year deal with the club.
Today the news breaks that Sam Conners has also signed a two-year deal, just reward for a lot of hard work.
For me, Sam always looked the most likely of the young seamers we had a couple of years ago to break, through. While James Taylor has moved to Surrey and Alfie Gleadall has left the staff, Sam seemed to have the height, bounce and whip that the top seamers have. He has performed well in sporadic appearances but I expect him to now be pushing for a more regular place in the attack.
He has faced his issues with injury, which have hampered his progress, but he will now be fit and raring to go for this and the next two summers.
He has a good coach in Steve Kirkby and I am confident that he and Michael Cohen will prove a very useful and lively attack. He can handle a bat too, and supporters have every right to be optimistic after the events of the past week.
It is all up to them, now.
Congratulations, Sam.
Go well!
