 Harrison's injury has left a big hole in Glamorgan's pace attack |
Injured bowler David Harrison has been given a new two-year contract, keeping him at Glamorgan until 2009. The news will boost the Newport-born right-arm seamer, who is out for the season following back surgery.
The absence of the 25-year-old England A international has been severely felt by Glamorgan this year.
His injury prompted a fruitless search for an overseas player as cover, and the Welsh county are now believed to be looking at the loan market.
"It's been a disappointing season for me but this bit of news, with the club giving me support, has made me determined to get back as fit and as strong as I can," said Harrison.
"I'm excited about the prospect of getting back next season with a new management team in place and playing at a revamped Sophia Gardens.
"I was pretty down after the operation and had thoughts that my career was over. But looking at it, though this has been a big negative, there have been positives to come out of my injury.
"Before I probably took for granted playing county cricket over the past few years, but when you have an injury like mine and it's taken away from you, you appreciate cricket that much more."
