Just like Sam, captain Dwayne Heke has also been busy throughout the winter as the first team have also brought in five new signings for 2025, including overseas Jonnie Kuch.

Incomings
Mustafa Rafique has joined from New Rover but is predominantly known for his spells at Hanging Heaton and previously Pudsey Congs. Mustafa will open the bowling with Jonnie and bring some hard hitting in the middle order.

Right arm off spinner Hamza Khan joins from Scholes, wicketkeeper Adam Dean joins from Bradford and Bingley and lower order batsman Amir Afsar from Bowling Old Lane.

Adam will be playing his first full year in BCL first team cricket, and we look forward to seeing his rise from 2nd team cricket. Hamza and Amir both step up a division also looking to test themselves in division 1 first team cricket.

We all look forward to seeing what the 1st team can achieve this year and wish Dwayne and the team the best of luck for the season.

Outgoings
Alex Midgley – Spen Victoria, Jack Dyson – Woodhouse Grange, Abdullah Khan – Batley, Finn Brookes – Morley.
