Leicestershire seam bowler Walker signs new deal

Roman Walker has featured most prominently for Leicestershire in the One-Day Cup

Seam bowler Roman Walker has signed a new one-year deal with Leicestershire.

The 24-year-old will remain with the Foxes for a fourth campaign, having moved to the Uptonsteel County Ground from Glamorgan in July 2021.

Walker - who was signed by Warwickshire on an emergency loan in September, but failed to feature for the Bears - has taken 31 wickets across all formats for Leicestershire.

He has featured more often for the East Midlands club's second XI side, and has claimed 90 wickets for them at that level.

"There’s a lot of hard work to come, but I’m fully focussed on putting in good performances consistently and showing I’m worth the time the club has invested in me," Walker told the club website.
