Former Ireland Under 19 international Jamie Grassi has confirmed he is joining The Hills from Phoenix.

The 23 year-old spent two seasons at Phoenix, scoring five fifties in his time at the Park.

Grassi had moved there from North County, where he played 112 senior games for the Balrothery side, scoring 2634 runs at an average of 28.32, which included three hundreds and 14 fifties.

"I'm going to The Hills to change it up a bit for myself and am excited by the new challenge and really looking forward to the season ahead," Grassi told CricketEurope.

"The prospect of working with Jeremy Bray as Head Coach is a real bonus too."

The hard-hitting batsman made his debut for Italy last year, playing six times in the European Regional T20 World Cup tournament in Spain.

Grassi also played at the 2018 Under 19 World Cup, and also played interprovincial cricket for both Leinster Lightning and Munster Reds.
