Will Rhodes

Experienced top order batter Will Rhodes put pen to paper on a three-year deal at Durham, with the 30-year-old joining from Warwickshire.

The former Bear joined the squad before the 2025 season and will be available for Durham in red and white ball cricket until at least the end of the 2027 season.

A left-handed top-order batter, Rhodes will bring further experience to the Durham batting lineup, having played over 100 first-class matches for Warwickshire and Yorkshire and had a short loan spell with Essex.

Having played in over 200 all-format matches, Rhodes has 13 centuries and more than 8,500 career runs.

Rhodes most recently impressed with the bat in the County Championship, scoring 201 against Kent, almost surpassing his first-class best of 207, scored against Worcestershire in 2020.

A handy right-arm seamer, Rhodes is one away from 100 scalps in the red ball arena, with a best of 5-17 coming against Essex in 2019.

A natural leader, Rhodes captained Warwickshire for four seasons between 2020 and 2023 and is one of only seven players to captain Warwickshire to County Championship success, lifting the title in 2021 along with the Bob Willis Trophy during the same summer.

The Nottingham-born batting all-rounder has a career-best 113 in List A cricket and a T20 best of 79* against Leicestershire Foxes.
