Balbriggan have confirmed the signing of 22-year-old South African Matthew Pollard as their overseas player for the 2023 season.

Pollard plays in his native country for KwaZulu-Natal, and is at the start of his professional journey.

While he has only played three first-class matches to date, he has taken 8 wickets at just 14 with his bustling right-arm medium/quick bowling.

He is a right-handed middle-order batsman who is sure to add pedigree and quality to Balbriggan as they look to defend their Premiership crown.
