Derriaghy have announced the signing of New Zealand bowling all-rounder Matthew Scoble as their overseas player for the upcoming season.

Scobie hails from Wellington, where he has earned a reputation as a talented all-rounder in the New Zealand Premier Cricket arena.

The 23 year-old is a right-arm medium=pace bowler and a fairly useful middle-order batter. 

He represents Onslow in the Wellington Premier competition, where has taken over a hundred scalps, and a personal best 8 for 15.

He has played for Wellington at the U19 National finals, where a series of impressive displays saw him represent Wellington A. 

"We're absolutely thrilled to have Matt on board for the season ahead," club captain Ross Bailey told the Derriaghy social media channels. 

"His record speaks for itself, he is someone who regularly takes the new ball, has over a hundred Premier wickets to his name, and can contribute significantly with the bat lower down the order is exactly the type of player that will make a big impact in this team. We can't wait to see what he brings to Queensway."

Derriaghy's first match of the new season is at home to Templepatrick on Saturday 25th April.
