Seamer Harry Podmore joins Glamorgan on second loan spell

Middlesex seamer Harry Podmore has returned to Glamorgan for a second loan spell on the eve of the new county season.

The 22-year-old has been brought in for a month following injuries to fellow bowlers Ruaidhri Smith, Graham Wagg, Timm van der Gugten and Michael Hogan.

Podmore, who played two first-class matches during his short-term stay in Wales at the start of last season, will be available to Glamorgan for three Specsavers County Championship Division Two fixtures.

"Glamorgan gave me my first chance in first-class cricket and I'm grateful to them for giving me another opportunity to play red-ball cricket," he said. "Clearly with the amount of fast bowlers at Middlesex, it can be hard to get a game.

"However, it's a good young bunch at Glamorgan and they made me feel so welcome last time, which made my decision to come back easier for me."
