Northamptonshire County Cricket Club are thrilled to announce that Nathan McSweeney will be staying with the Club for the 2027 season.<\/p>\n
The Australian international will head into a second year with Northamptonshire and will be available across the whole season.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m delighted to be extending my time with Northamptonshire,\u201d McSweeney said.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom the moment I arrived I was made to feel welcome by the players, coaches, staff and supporters, and that made the decision to stay a very easy one.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 27-year-old has already shown his class on multiple occasions this year, striking three centuries and McSweeney currently sits as Northamptonshire\u2019s leading run scorer in the County Championship with 589 runs at an average of just under 50.<\/p>\n
A calm presence at the crease and a leader in the field, the newly-appointed One Day Cup captain has proved to be an important member of the white ball squad.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m grateful for the faith the Club has shown in me and I\u2019m looking forward to continuing to contribute both on and off the field. Hopefully there are plenty of successful moments ahead for Northamptonshire, and I\u2019m excited to be a part of that journey.\u201d<\/p>\n
Head Coach Darren Lehmann praised the impact that McSweeney has had in his short time with the Club so far.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re so pleased that someone of Nathan\u2019s calibre is deciding to stay with us. He\u2019s been outstanding on and off the field and he\u2019s a leader within our group who\u2019s shown a love for the Club.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s worked on his game and he wants to continue to help other players out which is very good for our culture and the development of our players.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe players really enjoy him being around and he\u2019s a pleasure to coach, so it\u2019s an easy signing for us.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Northamptonshire County Cricket Club are thrilled to announce that Nathan McSweeney will be staying with the Club for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":670966,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-670965","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/670965","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=670965"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/670965\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/670966"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=670965"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=670965"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=670965"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
