Emilio Gay has extended his contract with the club, signing a deal that will keep him at Northamptonshire until at least the end of 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having learned his craft through the Northamptonshire Academy, the left-hander is delighted to have committed his future to the club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe club, coaches and captains have shown immense confidence in me, as a 20-year-old to get given a two year contract, which I am very grateful for.\u201d Gay said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRosso [Adam Rossington], Cobby [Josh Cobb] and Rips [David Ripley] are very good at giving us the reassurance to go out and express ourselves and play our own game, which I hope to repay with runs next season.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The young opening batsman showed real promise during the 2020 season with a top score of 77* in the victory over Glamorgan in the Bob Willis Trophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m looking to score big runs and to cement my place as a first team player and most importantly, win games of cricket for Northamptonshire.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe had lots of young players who haven\u2019t played a lot of first team cricket come through last year and not look out of place, which is a great sign for the club.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Red Ball captain Adam Rossington is full of praise for the opener saying that he has a bright future at Wantage Road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEmilio has shown glimpses of what he can do last year and no doubt he will have benefitted from the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s great for the club to have a young player of his potential and someone who\u2019s work ethic is second to none.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Despite only playing in the Bob Willis Trophy so far, Gay is keen on making his mark in the shorter forms of the game too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI can\u2019t stress enough how much I would like to break in to the 50-over squad, I will work as hard as possible to make sure I\u2019m not just pigeonholed as a red ball specialist.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
