Bridlington Cricket Club sign Jamie Artley and Harvey Dixon
Bridlington Cricket Club have snapped up two new players ready for the new Yorkshire Premier League North season.
A statement on the Dukes Park club’s social media said: “We’re delighted to welcome bowler Jamie Artley to Bridlington Cricket Club ahead of the new season.
“Jamie joins the club as a promising bowler and we’re looking forward to seeing him getting stuck in this summer.
"Make sure you give Jamie a warm Bridlington welcome when you see him down at the club!”
Artley has played for Sewerby CC and Scarborough CC in past season.
Also announced last week was the signing of batsman Harvey Dixon, who joins from Bardsey CC and has previously played for Driffield Town CC and Middleton & North Dalton CC.
Earlier this month Mikey Nicholson signed from Driffield Town CC for his second stint at the club.
Also bolstering the ranks at Bridlington CC are former Filey and Hornsea all-rounder Josh Dawson, who has joined from Malton & Old Malton CC, returning to the club where he played as a junior.
