Will Smith

Will is a professional cricketer with Durham CCC, and has a passion for all things sporting. He was coerced (bullied) into every sport as a child, by his six years senior older brother, and despite short-lived trauma and many a bruise, that passion remains

Cricket has been the main subject of fascination, and he has been fortunate enough to win the English County Championship three times – once with Nottinghamshire, once as Durham’s player of the year and once as captain

The other sport to remain firmly in his mindset since childhood is horse racing. Thanks to Easter Monday and Boxing Day trips to Towcester races to cheer on horses a quarter owned by his father, Will has since found all things equine an irresistible lure. That passion lives strong, and it is a lifetime ambition of his to spend all four days at the Cheltenham festival swimming in a sea of winning betting slips and Guinness.
