Topley ‘honoured’ to join Surrey

England international Reece Topley says he is “honoured” to have signed a two-year white-ball contract with Surrey. Topley, who was drafted by the Oval Invincibles to play in the new 100-ball competition last week, is looking to get his career back on track after an injury-hit spell with Sussex. The 25-year-old turned down the offer of a new deal from Sussex earlier this month and Surrey have quickly moved to snap him up. His deal is primarily for white-ball cricket but Topley will also be considered for County Championship matches if he can stay fit. Topley told Surrey’s official website: “I am honoured to sign a contract at Surrey, and excited to play in front of the fans at the Kia Oval. The set-up here is renowned for being excellent and I can’t wait to work with the players and coaches and aim to win some silverware.”
