Former Derbyshire opening batsman, Stephen Stubbings, has joined Derbyshire as First XI Support Coach.
Stubbings, an ECB Level 4 Coach, will support Club Captain, Billy Godleman, and provide coaching support to the First XI.
The 38-year-old enjoyed a 13-year playing career at Derbyshire between 1997 and 2009, scoring 7,557 first-class runs in 139 matches. He was capped in 2001 and was twice a winner of the Club’s Player of the Year Award.

Godleman said: “It’s fantastic news to have Steve back at the Club. He’s a Derbyshire man through and through.
“He’s incredibly hard working and has a vast amount of experience of the Club and the game as a coach and a player. He’s enjoyed success in his recent role and we’re delighted to have him on board.
“We’ve got a great group of senior players who have played a lot cricket and Steve will only add to that experience in his new support coach role.”
