Stephen Moore joins Lancashire from Worcestershire

Oct 9 2009

By Richard Gibson, Liverpool Daily Post

 

LANCASHIRE have signed former Worcestershire opening batsman Stephen Moore on a two-year deal.

The 28-year-old England Lions player announced his decision to leave the New Road county on Wednesday.

Moore will bolster the Lancashire batting order following the recent decision of veteran Mal Loye to return to Northamptonshire.

Moore said: “To join a club of Lancashire’s stature is a fantastic opportunity for me at this stage in my career.

“I am confident that the club will provide me with the platform to grow and develop as a player and person.

“I look forward to being a part of the club’s future development, and will strive to contribute in every way I can to the success of the team on and off the field.”

Moore, who caught the eye in the summer with an attacking hundred against the Australian tourists, is the fourth player to leave relegated Worcestershire since the end of the season.

Simon Jones, Gareth Batty and Steven Davies have also left but Moore insists there are no problems at the club.

He said: “It’s been a tough season. We’ve all been together quite a long time. We probably haven’t achieved the things we wanted to achieve as individuals or as a team.

“But things go in cycles. This is just a cycle where our era at Worcester is over and there will be a new era.

“My career at Worcester has been brilliant, I’ve really enjoyed every minute.

“But I felt I’d got to a junction in my career where I needed a clean slate, moving on and having a bigger challenge and Lancashire offered me that.”
