He made his debut for Wales NC and picked up a couple of wickets (2-35) as the Welsh defeated Wiltshire in a three-day NCCA Western Division Two clash at Panteg CC.

Also a key member of the Wales NC North side, he stood out with 3-45 when the team lost their first competitive game away to Cumbria last year.
