Hudson-Prentice to return to Sussex

All-rounder, Fynn Hudson-Prentice, has signed a contract to return to his home county of Sussex at the end of the 2021 season.

The 25-year-old has been a mainstay of Derbyshire’s side since scoring 99 and taking a wicket with his first ball on debut against Middlesex at The Incora County Ground in 2019.

He has gone on to score 948 runs and claim 70 wickets across all formats for the Club to date, including best figures of 5-68.

Head of Cricket, Dave Houghton, said: “I want to thank Fynn for his efforts throughout his time with Derbyshire; he’s kicked on over the last year and developed into a good all-rounder.

“We of course wanted to keep Fynn at Derbyshire and he was offered a new contract, but we understand that his decision is about more than cricket and wish him the very best for the future.”

Hudson-Prentice added: “I’ve really enjoyed my time at Derbyshire and I’ll always be grateful to the Club for giving me the opportunity and to the supporters for making me feel so welcome.

“It’s a great Club and I am sorry to be leaving, but the opportunity to move back to Sussex and re-join a county which I grew up with and which takes me closer to family was something I couldn’t turn down.”
