With immense pride it was fantastic to see Fraser signing yesterday with Glamorgan, and hitting the first ball he faced today for four!
Richie Oliver, 1st XI Captain:
"We’re all so pleased for Fraser that his performances for Reigate this season have been rewarded with this opportunity in county cricket. While we will miss him for these last three games, his contribution to the club on and off the field has been outstanding. He’s played his part in giving us an opportunity to win the league this year and we wish him every success for his 3 game stint for Glamorgan".
Gary Butcher, Director of Men’s Cricket and 1st XI Head Coach said:
“All of us at the club would like to wish Fraser the very best of luck whilst representing Glamorgan. His professional standards have been a shining example to players young and old, whilst his performances with bat and ball speak for themselves”.

As Toby said "Go well Fraser - the whole of Llamaland are rooting for you".

Glamorgan Director of Cricket Mark Wallace said: “It’s great news that we’ve been able to secure Fraser’s signing and welcome him to Wales as we head back into red ball cricket this week.
“He’s got an excellent first-class record in New Zealand and has been in this country playing so hopefully he can hit the ground running as we go into an important stage of the County Championship season.”
