County Championship side Glamorgan have continued their rebuild of the club by handing new contracts to five homegrown players.
It has been a busy week for Glamorgan after naming Toby Radford as new head coach and agreeing a new two-year contract extension with 35-year-old left-arm spinner Dean Cosker.
And the Welsh county have continued to rebuild under new director of cricket Hugh Morris with an investment in the future.
Homegrown batsmen Ben Wright, Will Bragg and David Lloyd have all been given two-year deals and will be joined by fellow youngsters Andrew Salter, a spin-bowler, and all-rounder Ruaidhri Smith.
“I believe the key for our sustained success is to develop our own talent such as players like these,” said Morris, a player for Glamorgan between 1981-1997.
“I was very lucky to play in a Glamorgan side the spine of which was Welsh and this is something which I will be focusing on developing with our new head coach and the rest of the coaching staff.”
Glamorgan finished second-bottom in the LV County Championship Division Two this year after winning just three of their 16 fixtures.
