Gisborne Cricket Club has signed exceptional young pace bowler Josh Wills from Netherfield Cricket Club in Cumbria, England.
The tall 19-year-old left-arm speedster was recently clocked at 84mph (135kmh).
Wills has played in the Northern Premier Cricket League for Netherfield, and was part of the Cumbria County Cricket team in the National T20 competition.
Gisborne’s prolific run scorer Riley Vernon is playing for Netherfield, and can vouch for the pace of Wills in the nets.
The import is also a capable lower order batter, recently scoring 104 in a T20 match.
Gisborne is confident Wills will be a formidable player for the current premiers in 2024-25 season.
Riley Vernon will also be back at his home club, coached by his brother Jarryd.
