Harrison's injury has left a big hole in Glamorgan's pace attack
|
Injured bowler David Harrison has been given a new two-year contract, keeping him at Glamorgan until 2009.
The news will boost the Newport-born right-arm seamer, who is out for the season following back surgery.
The absence of the 25-year-old England A international has been severely felt by Glamorgan this year.
His injury prompted a fruitless search for an overseas player as cover, and the Welsh county are now believed to be looking at the loan market.
"It's been a disappointing season for me but this bit of news, with the club giving me support, has made me determined to get back as fit and as strong as I can," said Harrison.
"I'm excited about the prospect of getting back next season with a new management team in place and playing at a revamped Sophia Gardens.
"I was pretty down after the operation and had thoughts that my career was over. But looking at it, though this has been a big negative, there have been positives to come out of my injury.
