Marchant de Lange signs new deal to remain at Glamorgan until 2021

Alongside Michael Hogan and Graeme Wagg, de Lange has added experience to an otherwise young seam attack in Wales

Marchant de Lange has signed a new two-year deal with Glamorgan, which will keep him at the club until the end of the 2021 season.

Since joining the county in 2017 the fast bowler, who played two Tests for South Africa between 2011 and 2012, has been a key part of the team across all three formats of the game.

His 18 wickets were crucial in helping Glamorgan reach T20 Finals Day in his first year at the county, while he claimed 16 scalps during this year’s Royal London Cup campaign.

Alongside Michael Hogan and Graeme Wagg, de Lange has added experience to an otherwise young seam attack in Wales.

Director of cricket, Mark Wallace, said: “He gives us that X-factor with his extra pace, and is a wicket taking bowler in both red and white-ball cricket.

“I think the exciting thing about Marchant is that he is still developing, he’s eager to learn and is totally committed to the club’s direction moving forward."

De Lange added: “It’s a pleasure to be able to sign a new deal and commit my future to Glamorgan.

“I have been able to find a second home in Cardiff, and I have loved being a part of the team environment.

“I feel like I am really starting to find my feet here, and I hope I can continue to take lots more wickets for the club in the years to come.”
