Somerset Batter Sean Dickson to Join Glamorgan on Two-Year Deal

Sean Dickson, the accomplished South African-born batter currently playing for Somerset, will leave the club at the end of the 2025 season to join Glamorgan on a two-year deal. Dickson, 34, has been a key figure in Somerset's recent successes, including a match-winning 71 off 26 balls that propelled Somerset to the Vitality Blast Finals Day, but Somerset did not offer him a contract extension. Glamorgan, preparing for the loss of their captain Sam Northeast who is returning to Kent, view Dickson as a vital addition to their batting lineup, praising his explosive T20 skills and solid first-class credentials, including a career-best score of 318. Having played for four counties—Kent, Durham, Somerset, and now Glamorgan—and holding a UK passport, Dickson brings extensive experience to the Welsh side as they push for promotion to Division One. His departure marks a significant shift for Somerset, who will miss his on-field contributions and off-field presence. Dickson's move is seen as a strategic acquisition for Glamorgan as they aim for higher competition levels in English cricket.
