Garton: Best is still to come
When Bears First Team Coach Mark Robinson was asked: Do you want to sign a left arm fast bowler, who can bowl 85mph-plus, is one of the best fielders in the country, and is a destructive batter? He wasn’t long in replying with a resounding, “yes”!
Robinson knows all about the qualities George Garton possesses having spent 10 years as coach at Sussex where Garton developed through the youth ranks before a call-up to the England Lions aged just 19.
Many believed Garton was England’s answer to finding a left arm quick of genuine world class ability and he made his international debut in January 2022 in the West Indies. However, a blood clot on his lung derailed his progress as left him out of the game for some time.
“I feel my best years as a player are ahead of me and I retain huge ambitions in the game. I am delighted to have joined the Bears and I have the utmost respect for the Club and its history.”
