ENFIELD professional Werner Coetsee has signalled his intent to rejoin the Lancashire League club next year.

The South African is in his third season at Dill Hall Lane and last weekend agreed to return in 2015.

“I enjoy the people here, I enjoy the club and I’m enjoying my cricket so I’d love to come back – if they’d have me!” laughed the 31-year-old.

“It won’t be 100 per cent confirmed till November or December. But if it’s still ok with both parties then I’ll be here again next year.”

Coetsee has scored 497 runs so far this season, averaging 45.18. He’s also taken 36 wickets at an average of 11.91.

He helped Enfield to an eight-wicket win against East Lancs last Sunday, putting them clear in third place, 15 points behind Ramsbottom and 16 off leaders Lowerhouse.

And they visit fifth-placed CHURCH this Saturday looking to keep the pressure on the top two.

“Everyone is playing their part at the moment,” Coetsee added. “We’re scoring runs more consistently and bowling better.

“We’ve got some tough games coming up but if we can get through July in a good position then I think we can compete for the league title.”

Seventh-placed ACCRINGTON also have a derby on Saturday, at home to 11th-placed RISHTON.
