Henry Hurle and Asa Tribe sign rookie Glamorgan contracts

Henry Hurle and Asa Tribe have signed two-year rookie contracts with Glamorgan.

Tribe - who made his international debut for Jersey in 2021 - was a member of the Cardiff UCCE squad in 2023.

Wicket-keeper batter Hurle, 19, appeared for England Under-19s in their series against Ireland and Australia earlier this year.

Second XI coach Steve Watkin said: "Both Henry and Asa have shown their skills across the season.

"We're delighted to be offering them their first contracts with the club.

"They're both exciting talents and we're looking forward to welcoming them into the professional environment as they continue their development."

Hurle made his second team debut for Glamorgan in 2022 and will spend the winter playing club cricket in Melbourne before returning to Wales in the New Year.

Tribe, 19, scooped the Glamorgan Balconiers Supporters Club 2nd XI Player of the Year award earlier this month.

It came after he amassed 456 runs over the final four games of the season, a tally which included back-to-back centuries.

He has also been a mainstay of the Jersey international side that has reached qualifying tournaments for the 50-over and T20 World Cups this year.

His 115 not out against Namibia in April made him the seventh youngest player to ever score a century in a 50-over game.

"What really underpins Asa's development and growth has been his work ethic," Jersey head coach Neil MacRae told BBC Sport.

"He's worked so hard at his batting and his fitness over the past couple of years.

"He's starting to produce on a consistent basis and he's also very hungry to keep improving and move forward in the game."
