Bashley (Rydal) left-armer Brad Currie has signed a T20 Vitality Blast contract with Sussex for 2024, alongside playing for Scotland in the ICC T20 World Cup in the Caribbean and the USA.
Currie initially joined Sussex on a short-term deal in 2022, making an immediate impact on debut, taking 6-93 in the County Championship against Middlesex at Lord’s. He then went on to become a key member of the Sharks’ bowling attack, taking 12 wickets in eight appearances as he helped the side reach the semi-finals of the Royal London Cup.
In 2023 Brad’s skills with the white ball were on full display, culminating in one of the performances of the T20 Blast campaign, when he took 3-27 against the Hampshire Hawks before pulling off what many have called “the greatest catch of all time” when he caught an astonished Benny Howell one-handed, diving full strength in front of the Hove scoreboard.
Speaking on his new contract, Brad Currie said: “I’m very happy to still be representing this great Club and I am thankful for the opportunities this new deal will hopefully present to me. I hope I can create and be a part of some more magical nights for the fans and the team in 2024.”
Currie, whose sibling Scott is spending the winter with Adelaide University, played only three ECB Southern Premier League matches for Bashley (Rydal) this past season, but in one of them routed Lymington with career-best figures of 9-28.
