Worcestershire to release all-rounder Gareth Andrew
Friday 7 August 2015 08:32, UK
Worcestershire will release all-rounder Gareth Andrew at the end of the season.
Andrew's contract ends in September, and he has suffered an injury-hit season, not for the first time in his career.
A knee injury has restricted his appearances in recent years, and he had to undergo back surgery this season.
Worcestershire Director of Cricket Steve Rhodes said: "When Gareth has been fit, he has made an important contribution to the side.
"We appreciate the struggle Gareth has had with injuries and we wish him all the best for the future."
Andrew, 31, said: "I've loved eight seasons here but the last few years have been hugely frustrating for me. Worcester is where I call home now and I am gutted to be leaving.
“It's the start of a new chapter and I've got the rest of my career ahead of me. I look forward to being fit in November which will allow me to take part in a full pre-season programme elsewhere."
Andrew has scored 4,891 runs and taken 422 wickets across all formats of the game.
