Glamorgan have signed fast bowling all-rounder Ben Mike from Leicestershire.

Nottingham-born Mike, 28, came through the Leicestershire academy and made his county debut for the Foxes in 2018.

He has also had a spell with Yorkshire as well as playing on loan for Warwickshire.

Mike, Glamorgan's first incoming signing for the 2027 season, has 125 first-class wickets to his name at an average of 37, and a top score of 99 not out.

"I'm really excited to be joining Glamorgan and starting this new chapter in my career," Mike said.

"Looking from the outside and from my first conversations with the club and Wally (director of cricket Mark Wallace), Glamorgan is clearly in an exciting place.

"It's a club with a proud history but the recent achievements, ambition and direction of the club is very exciting."
