Past Professionals

Below is a list of all professionals that have represented Great Harwood Cricket Club since the first known record in 1849.

There is no data for the years 1915 to 1940 as the club was disbanded following the 1914 season. Despite being reintroduced in 1928 and existing under a number of different guises throughout the 1930s, the club was not formally reinstated to the Ribblesdale Senior League until 1941 and did not engage a professional throughout this time. For further details please see our club history section.
