Zimbabwean Brighton Mugochi has been appointed head coach at promoted Southern Premier League Division 1 club Totton & Eling.
The 33-year old left-arm spin all-rounder took 80 wickets in Logan Cup cricket his native country before moving to England, where he initially played Sussex League cricket for Henfield.
When he enrolled at Southampton Solent University, Mugochi joined Burridge and took 38 wickets for them in 2017.
Bowling an accurate tight line and producing tidy returns, he subsequently took 27 wickets for Totton & Eling in their successful 2019 SPL2 promotion campaign, alongside making 111 (out of 173) in a remarkable tied match against neighbours Calmore Sports in last season’s League Cup.
An ECB Level 2 coach, Mugochi is heavily involved in junior cricket development and, once the currently lockdown restrictions are lifted, will take up his appointment at Southern Gardens.
