Worcestershire lose another player to Nottinghamshire as Jack Haynes signs three-year deal

Haynes was monitored by a host of other counties when it became clear he was not going to stay at Worcester, and he faces a considerable fight to make a regular place his own at Trent Bridge

The conveyor belt between Worcestershire and Nottinghamshire has cranked into action once again, with Jack Haynes swapping New Road for Trent Bridge.

Haynes, the highly rated top-order batsman, has signed for Notts on a three-year contract, and will move at the end of the current county season.

He is the third Pears player to make the switch in a matter of days, following seamers Josh Tongue and Dillon Pennington.

Haynes said: "Trent Bridge is always a place I’ve loved coming to as a player; the club has a great feel about it, and the facilities and pitch are conducive to helping me develop as a cricketer.

"When I sat down with Pete Moores and Ant Botha, they were both passionate about the direction of this squad, and how I can fit into it."

Haynes was monitored by a host of other counties when it became clear he was not going to stay at Worcester, and he faces a considerable fight to make a regular place his own at Trent Bridge.

JACK HAYNES: CAREER STATS

First-class: 42 matches, 2,165 runs (ave 34.91)

List A: 11 matches, 469 runs (ave 42.63)

T20: 34 matches, 761 runs (s/r 143.31)

But that does not bother the 22-year-old, who is tipped for future England honours.

"I'm under no illusion that it'll take hard work to nail down a place in the side and continue to grow in all formats," he said.

"But Notts have a track record of taking on players and improving them to help them reach their potential."

An all-format prospect, Haynes has already played 42 first-class matches, and made more than 2,000 red-ball runs.
