Pacer George Garton has completed his move to Warwickshire from CCC Sussex.

County Championship Club Warwickshire is delighted to announce the completion of signing pacer George Garton from Sussex for the 2024 season.

England international, George Garton agreed with the terms and has signed a three-year contract with Warwickshire.

A talented left-arm quick, Garton will play a key role in the Bears’ Vitality Blast campaign although the Brighton native will still have the option to play red ball cricket.

Garton joins with a wealth of franchise experience having played in the IPL, Big Bash, SA20, and Abu Dhabi T10, alongside his domestic opportunities with Sussex and Southern Brave in The Hundred.

Having made his senior England debut in January 2022 against the West Indies in Bridgetown, Garton, represented England Under-19s in the 2016 World Cup in Bangladesh, bringing 72 wickets from 81 games in the short format.

He has, however, been on the selectors' radar for several years, and in 2017-18, aged 20, he was drafted into England's Ashes squad as emergency cover. Previously, he had represented England at Under-19 level, claiming 72 wickets from 81 games overall including appearances at the 2016 World Cup.

"I am delighted to be joining the Bears and I have the utmost respect for the club and its history," Garton said. "The club has a tremendous record of winning trophies and I hope to contribute to winning more of them."
