Lower Sixth pupil James has signed his first professional contract with Sussex.

At the start of Michaelmas term, James became the club’s youngest ever first-class player, aged 16,  when he was selected to play against Surrey during the Bob Willis Trophy in 2020.

County Championship and One-Day head coach Ian Salisbury said: “we are delighted to sign this talented young man. He definitely fits our strategy of signing young talent that will bring sustained success to Sussex in the future.”

Many congratulations, James!
