New Zealand cricket professional who played for the England Lions cricket team. After playing for Otago and Auckland in New Zealand cricket, Fuller played for Gloucestershire (2011–2015) and Middlesex (2016–2018). He signed a two-year contract with Hampshire on October 4, 2018.
Cricket Career
Fuller, a fast right-arm bowler who played for the New Zealand under-19 cricket team, made his top-flight cricket debut for Otago in March 2010. He moved to England in 2011 to play for Gloucestershire after signing a three-year contract in August 2010 as a British passport holder. Despite being offered another deal in Gloucestershire, he moved to Middlesex at the end of the 2015 season.
In the quarterfinals of the 2012 Friends Life t20 tournament against Sussex, Fuller conceded 38 runs from one to fellow New Zealander Scott Styris. On January 20, 2013, Fuller took 4/24 for Otago to win the 2012–13 HRV Cup against the Wellington Firebirds. Less than a week later he inflicted similar destruction on Wellington, this time in the Plunket Shield. He went 4/55 in the first innings, followed by 6/24 in the second as Otago won by one innings and 290 runs.
In July 2013 he scored a first class hat-trick for Gloucestershire against Worcestershire at Cheltenham, removing 3 first class batsmen. He was delighted to do so in the presence of his New Zealand family. In August 2013, Fuller signed a new two-year contract after a very successful 2013.
In October 2013, Fuller signed for Auckland Aces in New Zealand to play for the entire duration of the HRV Twenty20 Cup. In August 2020, Fuller scored a hat trick in the third round of the 2020 Bob Willis Trophy.
