At the same time, Glamorgan are searching for a new coaching boss following
Matthew Mott announcing he will also leave
at the end of the 2013 season.
He added: “It’s a little bit gut-wrenching to find myself at the end of August, nearly, and nothing being on the table from Glamorgan or myself.
“I really want to commit myself to Glamorgan cricket.
“I’m a Welsh lad, I want to be playing cricket for Glamorgan for the rest of my foreseeable future.
“Hopefully that’s another four-five years minimum.
“But at the moment the club’s position is not really budging on what they’ve sort of offered at the moment.
“It’s not where I want to be for security and other things on and off the field.
“I love playing for this club. I love taking wickets for Glamorgan… and I want to nurture young, Welsh spinners.”
Cosker has represented England at Under-19 level and also toured with England A in 1997-98 and 1998-99.
