Lockley has attracted the interest of Worcestershire

Promising Shropshire teenager Ryan Lockley has targeted a professional career after scoring over 400 runs for the first team at Ludlow.

"I have really benefitted from some fantastic coaching," said Lockley, 15, who is also training with the Worcestershire academy.

"It's early days, but I love the game and I want to go all the way."

Lockley has started on the up after winning the BBC Radio Shropshire "Young Player of the Year" award.

Lockley is well thought of at Ludlow, where a host of youngsters have established themselves in the first team and contributed to the club's fourth-place finish in the Shropshire Premier League.

"The likes of Ryan, Will Sparrow and Jack Edwards are all great prospects," said Ludlow's vice-captain Alex Robinson.
