Jack Newby is a UK-born South African batter who has dominated both English club cricket and South African domestic cricket for the best part of the last decade.
In South Africa, the powerful opener represented Western Province between 2015 and 2021, featuring in 29 matches across all three formats. He particularly excelled in first-class cricket, where in 17 matches he amassed 981 runs at 39.24, including three centuries and four fifties, with a highest score of 159*. Alongside his domestic commitments, he has also starred in Premier League cricket, where has been a long-term captain of his current club.
Jack has been a standout performer in UK club cricket. Competing across the country since 2018 in some of the strongest Premier Leagues — including the East Anglia Premier (Norwich 2018, Frinton On Sea 2021), the Drakes Huddersfield League (Skelmanthorpe 2022–24), and the Airedale and Wharfedale Senior League (Horsforth Hall Park 2025) — his batting record is exceptional. He has compiled 7,980 runs at 59.55, with 22 centuries and 43 fifties, striking 996 fours and 135 sixes.
His consistency at the top level is reflected in three seasons exceeding 1,500 runs:
Norwich (2018): 1,611 runs at 76.71
Skelmanthorpe (2022): 1,763 runs at 60.79
Horsforth (2025): 1,502 runs at 68.27
While renowned for his batting prowess, Jack has also developed his leg-spin bowling, claiming 31 wickets at 32.65.
Alongside his club success, he has utilized his British passport to feature in County 2nd XI cricket for Kent, Derbyshire, and Warwickshire.
After four successful years in Yorkshire, Jack made his targeted move back south for 2026, joining Bickley Park in the Kent Cricket League Premier Division — the highest tier of recreational cricket in the county. He's settled in immediately, striking 673 runs at an outstanding average of 84.13 so far this season. He represents a high-profile signing and a proven match-winner for any UK club. A keen, and accredited coach, Jack is also a trader by trade who integrates very well socially, so as a package, he is a fantastic option for any club looking to strengthen.
