TOMLINSON APPOINTED TO LEAD HAMPSHIRE ACADEMY

19/1/2018

Former Hampshire left-arm seamer James Tomlinson will fill the Club’s role of Player Development Manager.
Within the role, Tomlinson will be responsible for both managing and delivering the player pathway whilst also overseeing all boys County age group sides and Regional Performance Centres.
The 35-year-old, who made his Hampshire debut back in 2002, featured for the County in a career spanning 14 years and one which saw him claim 419 wickets, before announcing his retirement in 2016.
Throughout his time at the Ageas Bowl, Tomlinson was a popular figure among fans – not only for his on-field contributions but also for his humorous personality – and since retirement, has been heavily involved with the Hampshire age-group, development and Academy sides. His new position will see him continue to help grow and develop the game and those playing it within the County.
Director of Cricket, Giles White said: “To have someone with James’ playing experience and passion in this role is a huge plus for our player pathway. We have successfully changed the structure in recent times and we see this appointment as another progressive move in our development process.”
Tomlinson takes the reigns of the position vacated by Matt Drakeley, who has overseen the running of the player pathway since taking up the role in 2014.
Head of Player Development, Charlie Freeston said: “Matt has since been instrumental in overseeing and running a vast and highly successful Player Pathway. He has overseen many changes and transitions within his time and will be missed by staff, parents and players alike - I would like to thank him for all his hard work and wish him well for the future.”
