Sussex Cricket has confirmed the signing of wicketkeeper Tom Alsop from Hampshire following a successful loan spell at the 1st Central County Ground.
The 26-year-old, who initially joined on season-long long deal this summer, has been tied down on a permanent contract until at least 2025.
The left-handed batsman hit his first half century for Sussex this year in the County Championship game against Durham, and backed it up in the following game against Middlesex, reaching 113 in his first innings and then 66 in his second.
Having settled so quickly at Hove, Alsop is delighted to have made the move permanent, saying:
“I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time with Sussex and am glad I have made a decent start to the season in both formats of the game.
“I’d like to thank Hampshire and say a massive thank you to the coaching staff at Sussex for believing in me."
Sussex Head Coach, Ian Salisbury, commented on the signing:
“Tom has settled in brilliantly so far, my aim was to get the best version of Tom Alsop and I believe we are already starting to see that now.
“If you make somebody feel valued and believe in them, then I believe you will see the best version of that person, and the best version of Tom Alsop is a fantastic cricketer."
The two-season permanent deal will become active upon the conclusion of Tom’s current loan deal on November 1.
