Sam said about the move "I'm really looking forward to joining up with Torrisholme CC for the 2025 season, I had a great time last year up in the North East and now want to explore more of the UK. With the great rail links, and after speaking with “Heapy” Torrisholme seemed a great option to me. I'm really looking forward to meeting the rest of the squad and get involved with all aspects of the club, I have coaching qualifications and want to get be involved as much as possible".
The TCC committee would like to thank 1st XI captain Jack Heap and James Cookson who have done some excellent work over the winter to pull this opportunity together working alongside CricX – The Cricket Exchange Agency.
