Graeme White ends long association with Northants as he departs Wantage Road for new role
Graeme White has left the Northants coaching staff.
The 39-year-old has spent the past three years as the lead spin and fielding coach at cinch County Ground, as well as being head coach of the second team.
But it has been confirmed White has departed the club to pursue a new opportunity at Stowe School.
The move brings to an end White's lengthy association with the club, having also been a very successful player over many years at Wantage Road.
He was a key performer in the Steelbacks team that won the 2016 Blast and was also part of the squad for the 2013 win, and he still sits third on the all-time list of Northants wicket-takers in T20 cricket, his 91 scalps leaving him behind only Ben Sanderson and David Willey.
White, who spent the majority of his playing career at Northants aside from a four-year stint at Nottinghamshire, retired from professional cricket in 2023 at the age of 36.
In all, he claimed 280 wickets with his left-arm spin for the County across all formats.
He moved into coaching, and was part of the staff that guided the Steelbacks to their Vitality Blast Finals Day win at Edgbaston in July.
"It's a really emotional moment leaving the club after so many years of service as a player and a coach," said White.
"I'm really proud of what I've been able to achieve, and it's been special to have played a part in all three T20 wins.
"I feel like I've put my stamp on the second team and created a really good environment for our younger players to come through and make that transition into first team cricket.
"I've loved every second of my time here and I'm going to miss everyone, but I think it was time for me to move on and I'm really excited for the future and what that might hold.
"I wish all the players and staff all the best for the future and for the rest of the year, I'll be keeping a close eye on what's hopefully going to be a strong push for promotion."
Northants chief executive Ray Payne said: "Graeme has been part of some special moments at the club and everyone at Northamptonshire is grateful for his efforts both as a player and a coach.
"He's been an incredible person for the club to have and we wish him all the best moving forward."
