Grey High School<\/strong> has appointed old boy and former first-class coach, Grant Morgan<\/strong>, as its new Head of Cricket.<\/p>\n

Morgan, who has established a strong reputation for excellence within coaching circles through his work with teams like The Dolphins <\/strong>and KwaZulu-Natal Inland’s Tuskers<\/strong>, will return to the Windy City to share his considerable experience with the young talent gracing the grounds of one of Gqeberha\u2019s oldest and most prestigious cricketing institutions.<\/p>\n

In addition to his extensive coaching credentials, the fiery and passionate Morgan was once regarded as one of South Africa\u2019s most promising young wicketkeepers.<\/p>\n

During his time at Grey High, he captained both the First XI and the Eastern Province Schools<\/strong> team. He went on to represent the South African Schools<\/strong> side, also serving as its vice-captain.<\/p>\n

After finishing school, Morgan earned over 50 first-class caps before transitioning into coaching.<\/p>\n

His impressive coaching r\u00e9sum\u00e9 includes roles with, among others, the South Africa u19<\/strong> side, the Royal Challengers Bangalore<\/strong>, in the Indian Premier League<\/strong>, and a stint with the Scotland<\/strong> national team. Morgan was also involved with Grey High’s neighbours, Pearson High School<\/strong>, in 2022.<\/p>\n

“Grey High School is proud to welcome back Old Grey, Grant Morgan, as the new Head of Cricket. A distinguished cricketer and coach, Mr Morgan brings a wealth of experience and a deep-rooted passion for the game to his alma mater,” a press release from Grey High read.<\/p>\n

Morgan, who departed the Tuskers during their inaugural and only season in Cricket South Africa’s Division One competition, returns from Scotland, where he has been based for the past two years. He is certain to receive a warm homecoming upon his return to the place where his cricketing journey began.<\/p>\n

Morgan takes over from Deon Kruis<\/strong>, who has moved north to join Cornwall Hill College<\/strong>, in Pretoria.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
