Penrith Cricket Club’s latest signing is aiming to be a big hit at Tynefield Park.
Romario Brathwaite, who hails from Barbados, where he represented his country at various age levels, is in the process of relocating to Penrith.
A medium fast right arm bowler and right hand batsman who likes to score quickly, he has played for a number of clubs in England, including Southport and Birkdale CC, Scarborough CC and, most recently, Bradshaw CC, Bolton.
As a youngster he played for Barbados under-15s, under-17s and under-19s in the Caribbean regional tournament. He also trained with the Barbados senior team which featured Jason Holder, the former West Indies captain, and attended West Indies under-19 trials.
“Another year, another opportunity,” said Romario.
“I am looking forward to playing and being around this great club and its community. I’m definitely going to bring my A game, and equally give of my very best every time I step on to the field. Let’s have an amazing season with an amazing club.
“I want to thank God for allowing me the opportunity to be able to have another season and also thank God for allowing Penrith CC to make this decision to add me to their family.”
