Lloyd signs on for three more years

GLAMORGAN vice-captain David Lloyd has signed a contract extension that will keep him at the county until at least the end of the 2023 season.

Lloyd was capped in 2019, becoming the first North Walian to receive the honour since Wilf Wooller in 1939.

Lloyd was also the first North Walian since Wooller (in 1960) to captain Glamorgan when he was appointed interim captain for part of the 2019 season. He was named as captain of the Royal London Cup side for the 2020 season, as well as club vice-captain.

The all-rounder made his Glamorgan debut in 2012 and has since scored nearly 3,000 firstclass runs, with four centuries and a best of 119 at Gloucestershire in 2018.

Lloyd sits sixth in the county’s all-time T20 run scorers, having moved past the 1,000-run mark during the 2020 season.

Lloyd’s right-arm seamers have seen him collect 83 wickets for Glamorgan across all formats, with a best of 5-53 at St Helen’s against Kent in the 2017 Royal London One-day Cup clash.

“I’m really happy to be signing a new deal at Glamorgan,” said Lloyd.

“Being Welsh and playing for the only Welsh first-class county is something I’m very proud of, and to have been capped and captain Glamorgan was something I could only dream about.

“We’ve got high-quality overseas players, really talented youngsters and a solid core to build on, and the culture around Sophia Gardens is fantastic across the entire club.”
