All rounder Fateh Singh has extended his Nottinghamshire contract by a further two seasons, securing his future at Trent Bridge until the conclusion of the 2025 season. 

The 18-year-old matured on the first-team stage in 2022, displaying his hitting ability with a 22-ball 45 against Middlesex at Grantham, and playing further cameo roles against Durham and Warwickshire. 

With the ball, the left-arm orthodox bowler claimed nine wickets in the campaign at an economy rate of 6.94. 

In the Second XI Championship, Singh claimed 11 wickets and scored 312 runs at an average of 44.6, including a match-winning unbeaten 75 against Derbyshire. 

“I feel like my development has accelerated over the last two years, and that’s from being in and around a professional set up, learning a lot, and giving my all to the game,” Singh said. 

“I feel fortunate to have the backing of everyone at the club, and to be able to focus fully on cricket for the next few years.

“Having been with Notts all the way through the pathway, it has always been my ambition to break into the senior teams here.

“I got a taste of that in the past two summers, so I feel like I belong, and I have confidence that I can help Notts win games when I am given the opportunity.

“Now that I've left school, my aim is to play this game professionally for as long as possible, and there is no place I want to do that more than at Trent Bridge.”

Singh began his association with the club in 2014, in Notts’ County Age Groups. 

He has since graduated from the Academy, made 12 appearances in List A cricket for the Green and Golds - the first in 2021 aged 17 - and gained 11 caps for England U19s. 

“What we see from Fateh already is a confidence in his own ability combined with a drive to improve and be his best, and that’s a great spot to be in as a young cricketer,” Peter Moores, Nottinghamshire's Head Coach, said. 

“When I look back on some of his Royal London Cup innings, the belief he had in his game to play expansively in situations where he could easily have gone into his shell, was really impressive. 

“He also possesses a real cricket intelligence both with bat and ball which belies his age - he shows great maturity in that respect.

“He has benefitted from being on the staff, as is natural for a young man who has gone from combining cricket with his studies to focussing fully on his sport. 

“And that transition will see him develop more and more over the coming years, and we're excited to see how far he can go.”
