Experienced Nottinghamshire seamer Zak Chappell is set to represent Derbyshire on a two-year contract from the next domestic season.

The 25-year-old has represented Nottinghamshire with distinction since joining the club back in 2019. His addition will strengthen Derbyshire's bowling attack, which is already studded with some match-winners.

Reacting to Chappell's signing, Derbyshire head of cricket Mickey Arthur said,

"Zak is an incredibly skilled bowler and a great addition to our attack for all formats. He probably hasn't played the amount of cricket he's wanted to in recent years, but he's kept developing and worked hard on his game, now he has the chance to show what he can do as part of our bowling unit."

Nottinghamshire's head coach Peter Moores lavished praise on Chappell for his positive attitude and immense dedication. He also expected the Lincolnshire-born to give his everything for Nottinghamshire in the remainder of the County Championship.

Since debuting in 2015, Chappell has established himself as a useful seamer, picking 113 wickets across formats in the English domestic circuit. Despite being a talented bowler, he has mostly warmed the bench due to the presence of Stuart Broad, Dane Paterson, James Pattinson and Brett Hutton in the Notts setup.

However, he would certainly like to revamp his career by performing admirably during his stint with Derbyshire.
