2023 Overseas Player: Jayden Camp

31 Mar 2023

North East Cheshire Cricket Club is pleased to confirm the impending arrival of Australian batting allrounder Jayden Camp as overseas player for the upcoming 2023 Cheshire County Cricket League season. The 20 year-old hails from Sydney where he represents Northern District Cricket Club, the winners of back-to-back Club Championships in New South Wales Premier Cricket in 2021 and 2022.

Jayden is an emerging talent who has showcased the all-round game to bat in a range of positions across the top and middle order and will now look to further his game by spending the UK summer with the Jets. He’s displayed great consistency in the current Australian season to top 400 runs across the grades with a top score of 66. His canny off-spin also chipped in with 11 wickets and will help bolster a spin-heavy Jets bowling attack.

Since returning from an injury that caused him to miss the entire 2019/20 season, Jayden has been part of two Grand Final victories for the Rangers as well as appearing regularly in a strong Poidevin-Gray Shield (U21) side alongside several Australia U19 internationals. With a career-best score of 119 and best bowling figures of 6-46 he will play a key role in the 1stXI after their promotion as champions last season.

Jayden will also be a visible presence across all club activity, particularly with junior training where he is a qualified coach involved with Northern District’s Green Shield (U16) side. We wish him safe travels and look forward to his arrival in Manchester on 11th April for what should be a great summer of Jets and Ashes cricket.
