Glo’sters thrilled to have Snell on board – Brown
group of players looking to build on the 2021 season. Will Brown and the board have made some exciting additions to the squad that I’m confident will help to push the club further forward, and that supporters will continue to enjoy watching and cheering on.
“Gloucestershire is a club that’s rich in tradition, but is also an organisation that has exciting points of difference. It’s imperative we respect the tradition and culture of the club but we also develop our ability to innovate, prepare and develop a team that can achieve sustained success on the field.”
Snell made 82 appearances for Gloucestershire across all formats and racked up 2,183 runs.
Will Brown, Gloucestershire chief executive, said: “We’re thrilled to have Steve on board, who, with his knowledge and experience of cricket, can help take the club to the next level both on and off the field.
“In particular, the work Steve has done at Somerset in developing outstanding young playing talent shone through. We pride ourselves at Gloucestershire on our homegrown talent and Steve will be able to strengthen this area for our ambitious young cricketers.
“The calibre of candidates for the role was incredibly strong. Steve impressed us all with his mentality and ideas for the future, and it’s a fantastic bonus for us to have someone with Gloucestershire DNA in such a vital position within the club.
“Huge thanks should go to club chair, David Jones, ECB performance director Mo Bobat and former club captain Michael Klinger for their support and counsel during this process. Executive Board members David Graveney and Matt Windows have been part of the process from start to finish and deserve special thanks for their contribution.
“We want to win trophies and I’m confident Steve, working alongside our talented playing and coaching squad, will help us to achieve sustainable success.
“This is an incredibly exciting time to be a part of Gloucestershire, we’re a club on the up and we’re looking forward to the challenge of playing in Division One of the Championship next season.”
