Another two years for Prior at Sussex. Matt Prior’s contract is extended for two years after signing in for another couple of years. It is indeed that Prior’s career will last up to at least 2013.
Prior’s first-class Cricket career was debuted in Sussex in 2001 and was awarded county cap in 2003. Prior’s career has been getting far on England Test in 2007 against West Indies.
Prior has made over 10,000 first-class runs and while England duties have taken him away from Hove of late, he was able to make a 97 against Hampshire and was able to seal this season’s victory in the County Championship, while he also hit 89 off only 59 balls in the Friends Life t20 victory at Kent.
Prior said, “It’s a great honour to sign another contract for Sussex. I’ve been at the club as a professional for eleven years now and it is very close to my heart” after signing the contract.
“The support over the years from the fans and members alike has been very special, and the players and management are always striving for more success which I can hopefully be a big part of.”
“To have the best wicketkeeper-batsman in the world committed to us for the next two years is fantastic for the club. Matt nowadays doesn’t just bring his performance when he comes back to play for us, but a wealth of experience and desire for himself and those around him to succeed,” said Mark Robinson, Sussex’s Professional Cricket Manager.
Sussex will again rejoice that they got the best wicket-keeper for another two years. There’s a lot more balls and runs to make!
