Glossop CC Secures Rising Star Digby Evans for 2025 Season
Glossop Cricket Club has made a major signing for the 2025 season, bringing in one of the region’s brightest young talents, Digby Evans.
Fresh off from an excellent 2024 season in the Derbyshire and Cheshire Cricket League, where Evans dominated for Hayfield CC with 50 wickets, which included an amazing 8 for 26, Glossop’s acquisition of this rising star signals their intent to make waves in the Greater Manchester Cricket League (GMCL) next season.
‘Diggers’ has been a force to reckon with on the local cricket scene. As part of Derbyshire County Cricket Club’s Academy, he’s been on a clear trajectory toward a high standard of cricket. His inclusion in Derbyshire’s 2024 Boys' Academy was a nod to his consistency with the ball and all-around cricketing ability.
This move to Glossop CC is not just another step in Evans’ development—it’s a signal that he’s ready to take on a challenge and further test himself in the competitive Greater Manchester Cricket League, with Glossop hoping this is the perfect stage for Evans to sharpen his skills.
Glossop’s first XI, known for their strong bowling unit, will be boosted by Evans’ ability to deliver in high-pressure situations. With senior players like Hargreaves, Sonczak and Eyre and Pro Samarasooriya leading the attack last season, Evans’ arrival adds more firepower to an already potent bowling line up.
Glossop Cricket Club has been on a steady rise, and their focus on youth development aligns perfectly with Evans’ ambitions. The club’s ability to nurture young talent is evident from their juniors with both current and former county and GMCL representative players in their ranks. This, coupled with the experienced leadership in the senior ranks, makes Glossop an ideal place for Diggers to evolve into a more complete cricketer. The club hope to make a mark in 2025 with a squad balanced between seasoned campaigners and fresh talent like Evans.
His proven ability to take key wickets, combined with his experience at Derbyshire’s Academy, makes him a valuable asset as he steps into the competitive GMCL. With Glossop’s support, he’s poised to continue his upward trajectory.
The cricketing family at GCC will be fully behind Diggers as he embarks on his next cricketing chapter. All at the club will be eager to see what we can do to help this young talent flourish at North Road in the upcoming season.
