Keymer and Hassocks add Australian all-rounder to their ranks

The 24-year-old will join the club from early-April, with Keymer looking to strengthen the senior first XI as well as improve the development of younger players in the community off the back of a successful 2018.

The right-hand middle order batsman and seam bowler currently plays for Manly-Warringah District Cricket Club of the Sydney Grade Cricket League.

As well as looking to contribute to the club’s senior sides, the Australian will play a very important role working closely with the club’s junior section.

Alongside his senior commitments Moffat will be running a mentoring programme to develop and improve the next generation of cricketers in and around the Hassocks area.
