Sammy King and Dane Schadendorf are set to depart Trent Bridge following the end of their contracts.

All-rounder King, 22, has been a member of the Nottinghamshire squad for five seasons, making eight appearances in white-ball cricket, including three in this season’s Metro Bank One Day Cup.

He made his List A debut away to Glamorgan in 2021, and his T20 bow followed last summer, when he struck 44 from just 25 balls in a 28-run win away to Yorkshire.

A product of Gedling Colliery Cricket Club in north Nottingham, King has also spent time on loan in recent years with Norfolk in the National Counties system.

Zimbabwe-born wicketkeeper Schadendorf, 23, also joined the Green and Golds ahead of the 2021 campaign, and has made 30 appearances in both First-Class and List A cricket.

He made his debut for Notts in the County Championship during an innings-and-36-run win over Derbyshire, joining the match midway through as an emergency replacement for Ben Duckett, who had been called up by England.

In the ensuing four years, he scored almost 350 runs for the Outlaws in the One Day Cup, alongside claiming 25 victims from behind the stumps.

“With the conclusion of the season and contracts coming to an end, we have to make difficult decisions not to renew some players’ deals,” said Director of Cricket, Mick Newell.

“We are sad to see Sammy and Dane leave, but we are grateful for all their efforts during their time here, and we wish them the best for the future.

“They will always be welcome back at Trent Bridge, and we hope they go on to enjoy success in their future endeavours.”
