Watt signs up for stint at Derbyshire

Derbyshire have signed Scotland spinner Mark Watt on a six-month contract for the 2019 season.

The left-arm bowler is available for all formats this summer, subject to his international commitments with Scotland.

The 22-year-old has played more than 50 times for Scotland and has taken more than 50 wickets since his debut in 2015.

Derbyshire head of cricket Dave Houghton said: “It’s great to have Mark here at Derbyshire. He’s a clever bowler who bowls tightly and has excellent whiteball skills.”

Watt added: “I’m really looking forward to getting the season started and hopefully I can take my opportunities and do well for the club.

“There are experienced coaches and a good squad here, so I’ll be trying to learn and improve my game in every aspect.”
