Finlay Hill, who has been playing his cricket at Cleckheaton for the past three seasons, returns to strengthen the squad following our promotion to Division 1.

A Villager through and through, Fin was a key part of our junior teams and has played representative and regional cricket.

Club captain Alex Stead said:

“We’re delighted to have Fin back with us at Lightcliffe and excited about what he can offer the team with both ball and bat.

“His experience in both Division 1 and the Premier League since leaving us at Till Carr Lane will be invaluable and a huge boost to our already strong squad as we head into 2026.”

Finlay said:

“I'm so excited to be back at Lightcliffe for 2026. I've got so many good memories from the club and can't wait to make more.

“The Club has developed massively since I last played there, especially with the new clubhouse and with junior cricket - something that was so important to me - continuing to go from strength to strength.

“I can’t wait to contribute on and off the field next season.”
