Brayne, a talented and hard-working cricketer, has progressed through the junior ranks at Chester Boughton Hall and is now ready to take the next step in his career. A consistent performer with both bat and ball, he brings energy, versatility, and a hunger to make his mark at first-team level.

Speaking on his move, Brayne said:
“I’m really excited to be joining Upton Cricket Club. It’s an ambitious club with a talented squad, offering a fantastic opportunity to contribute as a 1st XI player. I’ve really enjoyed my time at Chester—it’s a great club and I’m grateful for everything I’ve learned there. Now I’m looking forward to building on those foundations and making a positive impact at Upton.”

The addition of Brayne comes as Upton continue their push for promotion this season. The club has been keen to bolster the squad with quality and depth, and the signing of a player with Brayne’s potential is seen as a key step in strengthening the team for the second half of the campaign.

Matt Owen (Upton CC 1st XI Captain) commented:
“We’re thrilled to welcome Matt to Upton. He’s a player we’ve admired for a while and we’re confident he’ll have a big impact both on and off the field. His attitude and skillset are exactly what we’re looking for as we aim to finish the season strongly.”

Brayne will be available for selection from Saturday 5th July and we look forward to welcoming him to Old Greasby Road.
