Colin Ingram signs two-year contract extension with Glamorgan

Colin Ingram has signed a two-year contract extension with Glamorgan.

The 37-year-old, who first joined the club in 2015, will feature as one of the club's overseas signings in 2023, alongside Australian duo Marnus Labuschagne and Michael Neser.

Ingram has scored over 6,500 runs and taken 63 wickets in 157 appearances across all formats for Glamorgan and is the club's leading run-scorer in T20 cricket, scoring 2,357 runs at 34.15, including three centuries and 15 half-centuries.

In 2022, he contributed with the bat in all three formats, scoring 596 runs at 66.22 (three centuries) in five LV= Insurance County Championship outings, a team-leading 342 runs at 68.40 in the Royal London Cup, and 152 runs in the T20 Blast.

As part of his new deal, Ingram, who has 40 white-ball caps for South Africa, will continue his off-field work with Glamorgan's young batters and coaching the club's pathway players.

"I'm thrilled to have signed this new deal with Glamorgan," Ingram said. "I really enjoyed my cricket this season and returning to the red-ball arena where I probably had my best ever year for the club.

"We came very close to promotion and next year I want to help us realise that goal and hopefully win the Vitality Blast, which remains one of my main targets in cricket.

"Wales is home, and I can't wait to play for the club for another two years and continue to work with the next generation of Welsh cricketers."

Director of cricket, Mark Wallace, added: "Colin was in extraordinary form this season and looked like he was playing better than ever.

"We know he is a brilliant white-ball player but seeing him put in those County Championship performances after a few years away from red-ball cricket was fantastic.

"We now have three world-class overseas players to pick from which gives us plenty of options heading into next year.

"He brings so much experience to the squad which our players can feed off, and it's fantastic that our young players can also tap into his knowledge as he continues to coach on our pathway."
