FEATURE | Record wicket taker Chris Rushworth joins Bears

We've moved to strengthen our bowling attack for next season with the signing of Durham’s all-time leading wicket taker Chris Rushworth. Rushworth, who took his 600th first class wicket this season, joins on a two-year contract with the option to extend for a further year depending on performances. Until now the right arm fast-medium pacer has been a one-club man during a career in the north east that’s seen him claim 821 scalps across all formats.
