Alexa Stonehouse Completes Permanent Transfer to Warwickshire
The left-arm seamer Alexa Stonehouse has agreed terms for a permanent move to Warwickshire.
Release from Surrey Confirmed
Surrey have released the bowler following the conclusion of her loan period at Edgbaston. The arrangement allowed Stonehouse to feature for Warwickshire during the spell, after which the counties reached agreement on a full transfer.
Successful Loan Spell at Edgbaston
The time spent on loan proved productive enough for Warwickshire to secure the player on a permanent basis. Stonehouse, a left-arm seamer, returns to the county where she recently played under the loan deal.
Warwickshire have now finalised the switch, bringing the bowler into their squad on a long-term footing. The move ends her association with Surrey, where she had been contracted prior to the loan.
The permanent switch comes after a successful loan spell at Edgbaston.
Key Details of the Transfer
- Player: Alexa Stonehouse
- Role: Left-arm seamer
- Previous county: Surrey
- New county: Warwickshire
- Reason for release: Completion of loan spell
This development gives Warwickshire a left-arm bowling option on a full-time basis. The county secured the services after evaluating her contribution during the loan period at Edgbaston.
What the Move Means
By agreeing the permanent deal, Warwickshire add a seamer who has already spent time in their environment. Surrey, having released the player, no longer retain her services.
The transaction involves no other players or additional conditions mentioned in the announcement. Both counties have completed the necessary steps to finalise the switch.
Fans following domestic cricket will note the change in registration for Stonehouse ahead of upcoming fixtures. The left-arm seamer will now represent Warwickshire exclusively.
