Teenager Liphook & Ripsley left-arm medium-pace bowler Jack Campbell has signed a professional cricket with Durham.
The 19-year old, who was educated at Churcher’s College in Petersfield, penned a deal shortly after helping Durham win the county Second XI Championship title.
The lanky left-armer played Hampshire League cricket at Steep, before representing Hampshire Under-17s for two seasons, also opening the bowling for the Hampshire Academy before being released.
He played four times for Liphook at the start of this past season before moving to the north-east, where he joined Chester-Le-Street, taking 14 wickets and as the club finished runners up to South Northumberland in the powerful ECB North East Premier League.
Campbell made his debut for England Under-19s in a Youth One Day International against South Africa in July and has subsequently been awarded a Vice Chancellor’s Scholarship to pursue Sports Science studies at Durham University.
