Jonathan Trott has signed a new sponsorship agreement with Gunn & Moore.
He has renewed his association with the company following a four-year break.
Trott said: “I played some of my best cricket with GM bats and equipment and I am looking forward to renewing our successful partnership.”
He started a long and successful relationship with GM as a South African schoolboy and in the period from 2000 to 2012 Jonathan scored 12,343 runs at an average of 44.88 including 29 centuries and 60 fifties – all scored with Gunn & Moore.
His Test career, using Gunn & Moore, was remarkable.
In his debut Test against Australia in 2009 he scored 119 and subsequently he achieved an overall Test average against the Australians of 86.42. He also scored two Test double centuries, one each against Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
During his partnership with GM, he was also Man of the Series against Pakistan in 2010 and won three major awards in 2011 – Wisden Cricketer of the Year, ECB Cricketer of the Year and ICC Cricketer of the Year.
Peter Wright, Managing Director of Gunn & Moore, said: “We are delighted that Jonathan has decided to re-join Team GM and our previous relationship speaks for itself. He was always a joy to work with and we look forward to helping him with the next stage of his career.”
