Peter Ball, pictured with Tino Best and the contract he signed
Leek went on the hunt for a new pro and had originally targeted Albie Morkel, but the South African paceman told the club he'd be unable to offer his services and in December, Leek signed Tino Best.
At the time Leek CC's junior manager, Peter Ball was on tour with the Staffordshire Youth Charity team in Barbados and helped to seal the deal.
