THE FUSE

England Lions batter and Jersey international Asa Tribe has signed a new contract with Glamorgan until 2028.

The Welsh county initially announced in September that Tribe had signed a one-year deal.

Glamorgan have now confirmed the 21-year has "signed new and improved terms" to keep him at the club for the next three seasons.

The in-form Tribe has been in impressive form for the England second-string side in Australia.

Tribe scored 53 not out against the Australia PM XI in Canberra before starring in the Lions' second innings against Australia A in Brisbane, making an unbeaten 129 in the innings defeat for the tourists.

"I'm really happy to commit to Glamorgan for the long-term and excited for next season in Division One," said Tribe.

"The last two seasons have flown by, but I know Sophia Gardens is the best place for me to continue developing as a player."

Tribe has been with Glamorgan for two years, helping the Welsh county gain promotion for the first time in 20 years this summer.

"The club has supported me since I joined in 2023, and I want to reward that with my contributions on the pitch," said Tribe.

"We all know that there's a lot of work to do if we want to stay in the First Division and push on in the Vitality Blast, but we're excited by the challenge."

After arriving to study at Cardiff University from the Channel Islands, Tribe signed for Glamorgan as a 19-year-old in 2023.

He made his senior Glamorgan debut in 2024, making two County Championship half-centuries and featuring in the side which won the One Day Cup.

It was 2025 that proved his breakthrough year as he helped Glamorgan win County Championship Division Two and excelled for Jersey.

Tribe was not selected for the first three Championship matches this year but forced his way into the side thanks to his high scores in the second XI.

Tribe established himself in all three formats and registered his first double century against Northamptonshire in September with an unbeaten 206.

That landmark innings came after two unbeaten centuries in Glamorgan's last two games of this year's One Day Cup, plus innings of 175 and 53 not out for Jersey in between county commitments.

That run saw Tribe hit four centuries in six games for the Welsh side and Jersey in the ICC Challenge League.

Tribe's contribution was recognised when he was shortlisted for the PCA Young Player of the Year Award.

In September, Tribe was picked up in the Betway SA20 auction by the Paarl Royals for matches in January and February 2026 before he was selected for the England Lions tour of Australia, alongside Glamorgan team-mate Ben Kellaway.

"Asa is one of the most talented young players in the country, and we're absolutely delighted he has committed to Glamorgan for the next three years," said Glamorgan director of cricket Mark Wallace.

"His rate of improvement over the last few years at the club is a reflection of his skill, character and appetite to succeed.

"This contract reflects both his high potential and the important role we see him playing in the future of the club."
