Nottinghamshire: Matthew Montgomery signs new three-year contract

Matt Montgomery hit a career-best 178 as Notts sealed the Division Two title against Durham

After making his County Championship debut in July, Montgomery , 22, played an important role for Peter Moores' side in the final month of the 2022 campaign, playing in Notts' last three games.< /p>

He finished with a career high 178 as they sealed the Division Two title.

"He's already played crucial innings for us," Moores said.

"Nothing more than his hundred against Durham in an important game. These innings, along with his 80 against Glamorgan stand out. Matt has a composure and composure when he beats, and that bodes well at such a young age."

Montgomery completed 369 runs in eight championship rounds, capped by that first-class first hundred, having also plundered 311 runs at an average of 44.42 in the One Day Cup.

"I'm determined to show myself and others what I can do at this level," said Johannesburg-born Montgomery, who arrived for the first time in Nottinghamshire as a trials rider in 2019, while at nearby Loughborough University.

"That hundred against Durham was, I suppose, vindication for a lot of effort that has gone into the past few years. And I still have a lot to give."
