Tom Commits to The Club

Somerset allrounder, Tom Lammonby has pledged his future to the Club.

The 24-year-old, whose existing deal was due to expire this year, has signed a contract extension that will see him remain at the Cooper Associates County Ground until at least the end of the 2028 season.

Tom, whose journey began at Exeter CC, joined the Somerset Academy in the autumn of 2015 after working his way through the Devon age group system, and is one of only a handful of Devon CCC players to score a century in each innings of a National Counties Championship match.

After working his way through the Somerset Pathway, the former England Under 19 Captain signed his first professional contract in 2018.

The left-handed top order batter, who also bowls left-arm medium pace, made his First Class debut for Somerset in the opening Bob Willis Trophy fixture of the 2020 season against Glamorgan and went on to make three hundreds in the competition, scoring in excess of 450 runs at an average of 51.

Since making his debut for the County, Tom has become a First XI regular, scoring more than 4000 runs across the formats. He was a part of the successful squad that lifted the Vitality Blast title in 2023, the same year that he made his debut for England Lions.

After committing his future to the Club, Tom said: “It was an easy decision for me and I’m really happy to have put pen to paper. Hopefully, I can make some more memories and help Somerset to win more trophies.

“The Club feels like home, and we’ve always been competing for silverware. We want to continue in that direction because we want to be a team that’s remembered for years to come. That’s the goal and that’s what we’re aiming for.

“I’m enjoying my cricket, and I just want to help the team to win matches.”

Somerset CCC Director of Cricket, Andy Hurry added: “In addition to being a stylish left-handed top-order batter, renowned for his fluent stroke play and natural timing, Tom also has the ability to impact the game with the ball and in the field.

“Having established himself within our senior playing group, we very much look forward to supporting his continued progression, and witnessing the role he plays in contributing to Somerset’s success now and in the future.”
