Adam Hose signs three-year Worcestershire deal, committed until 2029
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Worcestershire County Cricket Club have tied down batter Adam Hose on a new three-year contract, securing the 33-year-old's services at New Road until at least 2029. Hose, who joined the county in 2023, has become one of the most integral figures in Worcestershire's red-ball setup and also captains the Rapids in T20 cricket.
The Numbers Behind the Deal
Across 96 appearances in all formats for Worcestershire, Hose has carved out an impressive record. In 46 first-class matches alone, he has accumulated more than 2,400 runs, including two centuries and 14 half-centuries. The highlight of that red-ball record came in the 2025 season, when he posted a career-best 266 against Hampshire, an innings studded with 31 fours and seven sixes.
A Record Partnership That Defined a Season
That knock against Hampshire was not merely a personal milestone — it formed the centrepiece of a 395-run partnership with teammate Jake Libby, a record-breaking stand that underlined Worcestershire's batting ambition in the County Championship. Such performances have clearly persuaded the club's management that Hose is worth a long-term investment as they push for silverware in the domestic circuit.
T20 Contributions and Captaincy
In the shortest format, Hose has led from the front both as captain and as a batter for the Worcestershire Rapids. He has struck seven half-centuries in T20 cricket, with a 51-ball 95 against the Notts Outlaws in June last year standing out as one of his finest white-ball performances and a match-winning contribution for the side.
What the Club and Player Said
'Worcestershire County Cricket Club are thrilled to confirm that Adam Hose has re-committed his long-term future to the Club, signing a new three-year deal,' the club said in an official statement.
Hose himself pointed to the trust shown by the management and the camaraderie within the dressing room as key factors in his decision. 'Any form of commitment from both sides is great and it was a very straightforward one to complete given how much confidence I got from the Club and the management and hopefully over the next few years I can repay that faith they have shown in me. The one thing that stands out here is the family orientated feel and how everyone knows one another, which I think translates into our cricket. We fight for one another and I think that is really obvious when we play together,' Hose said.
What Comes Next for Worcestershire
With Hose locked in through 2029, Worcestershire have secured one of their most consistent run-scorers at a time when building a settled batting core is critical to County Championship progression. The club will hope that his experience — and the continuity this contract provides — can help translate strong individual performances into a sustained title challenge over the next three seasons.
