Andrew Gale Announced New First XI Coach For YCCC

    The Yorkshire County Cricket Club has announced the appointment of Andrew Gale as the Club’s new First XI Coach.

    Gale, who captained the White Rose to back-to-back County Championships in 2014 and 2015, has subsequently retired from playing, concluding the batsman’s illustrious First Class playing career at Headingley.

    The 32-year-old has signed an initial three-year contract and Director of Cricket Martyn Moxon believes that Gale is the right man to continue driving the team forward.

    He said “Galey was the obvious choice. He is highly qualified in the way that he has led the team as Captain over the past seven years and has expertise that we didn’t want to lose at the Club.”

    Gale made his First-Class debut for Yorkshire against Somerset at Scarborough in 2004 and has since gone onto become one of most successful captains in the Club’s history. In the 98 games that he captained the White Rose in the County Championship between 2010-16, Gale led the Club to 40 victories, 46 draws and just 12 defeats.
