It has been decided that Yorkshire County Cricket Club will not renew Simon Guy’s contract beyond the current season.

The 30-year-old Rotherham born wicket-keeper was a product of the Yorkshire Academy and made his first-class debut in 2000 but has since found 1st Team opportunities to be limited. The emergence of Jonathan Bairstow this summer has further limited Simon ’s 1st XI opportunities.

Martyn Moxon , Director of Professional Cricket, said: “It was a difficult decision to release Simon after so many years excellent service to the Club. Ultimately it was felt to be in the best interests of the Club and the player to part company as we were not going to be able to give him the opportunities he needs at this stage of his career. Simon has been a fantastic member of the Yorkshire squad for many years and a tremendous individual to work with. His enthusiasm, boundless energy and positive attitude were a great example to everyone. I wish him every success for the future.”
