As part of our mission to bring the stories of past and present Warwickshire cricketers to life, we’ve started a series of short features that provide us with a bit more context behind the various paths taken by those who have donned the iconic Bear and Ragged Staff over the years.
In the latest instalment of the series, we had the pleasure of catching up with Grant Thornton – a Coventry-born seam bowler who represented the Bears in 4 List A matches and a pair of County Championship fixtures in 2017- to speak about his early cricketing memories in Shakespeare’s County, the highlights from his playing days at Warwickshire as well as his latest venture into the highly rewarding world of teaching.
