Nils Priestley (23) is an impressive batting all-rounder (spin) from Derbyshire, England.
The Englishman is a hard hitting left handed top order batsman and also front line left arm finger spinner. Priestley was previously contracted with Derbyshire and has previously played 4 List A games in recent years and is now starring for Staffordshire County Cricket Club as they recently won the NCCA T20 Comp, where the left hander hammered 397 runs at an average of nearly 70. The left hander lit up Finals days with an unbeaten 147 off 66 balls in the semi final against Berkshire, before a match winning 57 and 4 for 27 in the final against Cornwall.
At club level the all-rounder plays for the famous Swarkstone Cricket Club in the famous ECB Derbyshire Premier League, where he has been starring for s number of years with both bat and ball outside of his county commitments. In the last 2 years he has racked up over 1200 runs (They won the ECB Premier League in 2022) and take over 60 wickets for the 1st XI side, and is widely regarded as one of the best players in the country without a First Class contract.
The youngster is just finishing his studies at Loughborough University where he has been a fixture in the MCCU side, and in his final year will be captaining the side, before embarking on a winter in Australia for St Albans Cricket Club in the strong VTCA (Melbourne). The all-rounder has been one of the standout batters in the comp with over 600 runs with a high score of 160, albeit has found opportunities with the ball limited.
The Englishman is now keen to explore opportunities in/around the city for next year as he is eager for a club to help him find a job in the corporate world. No doubt a player set to be in huge demand.
