Australian seamer Ryan Hadley will represent Glamorgan in the opening six rounds of the 2026 County Championship season.

A large dent was marked in the seam-bowling department brought by the retirement of James Harris – who had behind him a 623-wicket career spanning 18 years and experience winning a Division One title. Two days later, Hadley was announced.

So, who is the 27-year-old with just 15 First-Class matches under his belt?

Hadley, from New South Wales, had his busiest summer to date in 2025/26, having played in eight Sheffield Shield matches and been a part of the One-Day Cup squad which saw his state win the title, although he didn’t play in the final. He also appeared for Australia A in the match which saw his new teammate Asa Tribe strike 129 not out; Hadley removed Ben Kellaway for a duck in his two for 45 second innings return.
