Essex Women’s wicket-keeper Amara Carr has signed a new two-year deal with the club.<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old signed for Essex Women in 2025 as the women’s county scene was restructured, having previously spent four seasons with Middlesex.<\/p>\n

Carr has also represented London Spirit, Manchester Originals and Southern Brave in The Hundred.<\/p>\n

Carr is currently recuperating from a serious leg injury she sustained against Somerset in the One-Day Cup in August which saw her stretchered off after slipping while attempting a second run.<\/p>\n

“We have an ambitious group of players and I am looking forward to seeing what we can achieve together over the next couple of years,” Carr told Essex’s website., external<\/a><\/p>\n

Essex Women’s head coach Stephen Parry added: “She is a valuable asset to our team, bringing experience both on and off the field, alongside her strengths behind the stumps.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Essex Women’s wicket-keeper Amara Carr has signed a new two-year deal with the club.
