Haslingden have signed former Nelson professional Burton de Wett as their professional for 2015.

 

The South African all rounder was professional at Nelson in 2010.

 

Burton stepped in as professional after original signing Peter Forrest withdrew due to injury and after missing the first five matches. The South African finished with 721 runs at 51.5 with seven half centuries and 48 wickets at 15.2. The club asked him to return in 2011.

 

Burton, who bats left handed, has 5234 First-class runs at 28.3, including nine centuries and 26 half centuries.

 

His right arm wrist spin has accounted for 113 victims at 32.5 in 106 matches in a career that began in 2001 and has so far covered four teams - North West, Border, Warriors and South Western Districts.
