Jack Taylor extends contract until 2021

30 October 2018

Gloucestershire Cricket is delighted to announce that Jack Taylor has extended his contract which will keep him at the Club until 2021.

Jack made his debut for Gloucestershire in 2010 after coming through the Oxfordshire age groups and the Club’s Academy.  Since then he has regularly featured in all formats of the game for the first team.

Having won the 2017 Batsman of the Year Award he was rewarded with the Vice-Captaincy of the Specsavers County Championship and Royal London One-Day Cup sides at the start of the 2018 season.

He had the highest strike rate (199.19) for Gloucestershire in the Vitality Blast during the 2018 season and averaged 30.87 during the T20 competition.

His most memorable performance of the season came in the 9-wicket victory against Glamorgan at Sophia Gardens in the Specsavers County Championship where he scored an impressive 112 off 214 balls, which featured 14 x 4’s and 1 x 6.

Speaking on his contract extension, Taylor said, “I am really excited to have extended my contract until 2021.  This is a great team to be part of, with some talented youngsters coming through.

I truly believe as a group, we can push for some more silverware over the coming years, and I wanted to be a part of that.”

Head Coach, Richard Dawson said: “It’s great that Jack has extended his contract with Gloucestershire. He’s been an integral part of the squad and we look forward to him continuing to improve and help the Club improve in all formats.”

Gloucestershire Cricket Chief Executive Will Brown said: “It is fantastic news that Jack has committed to a further contract extension. Jack has become a firm crowd favourite and is a major part of our family.

In recent years he has had many memorable matches for Gloucestershire not least some explosive T20 performances counterbalanced with some gritty and considered county championship innings.”
