He has proved a hugely popular figure with fellow team-mates, club officials and fans alike over the years, largely thanks to his ‘heart-on-the-sleeve’ approach to playing for the county he was born in.
Not surprisingly, the 32-year-old’s appointment as first-team coach by the club on Monday proved popular on social media, with plenty of players and fans wishing him well as he looks to continue the fine work carried out by his predecessor, Jason Gillespie.
