St Cross Symondians talent Harry Came has signed a two-year professional contract with Hampshire – and not Kent for whom he rattled off a succession of Second XI centuries this summer.
The 20-year old from Old Basing had offers from both counties, but chose his home county Hampshire, where he has come through the junior age group ranks, playing a key part in the Under-17s ECB County Championship victory three seasons ago.
Came has been in phenomenal form since coming down from Bradfield, winning the Southern Premier League’s Young Cricketer award in 2017 and playing a lead role in St Cross Symondians’ championship triumph this season.
He put himself firmly in the shop window with a series of hundreds for Kent in mid-summer and looked to be headed to Canterbury, but instead chose Hampshire, where he will begin training in November.
