Surrey stalwart Stuart Meaker ends long Oval stay by joining Sussex

Long-serving Surrey fast bowler Stuart Meaker has left for Sussex after 12 years on the staff.

30-year-old Meaker, who was part of the Championship winning squad of 2018, has left in search of more game time having fallen down the seam-bowling pecking order at The Oval.

“I am undoubtedly grateful to Surrey for the opportunities and memories I’ve had at the club since I was 13," said Meaker, who played four white-ball matches for England in 2011-12.

"I have been fortunate to have played alongside some of the greats of the game and in front of some of the best crowds the game has to offer.

“While I’ve loved being a part of the wider squad and their successes the last few seasons, I feel now is the time for me to seek opportunities to get more regular game time and get back to enjoying the game that I love."
