Warwickshire wrist-spinner Jake Lintott will leave the club when his contract expires at the season's conclusion.
Warwickshire left-arm wrist-spinner Jake Lintott will leave the Bears once his current contract reaches its end this season.
The 33-year-old has featured regularly in their limited-overs teams, especially the Twenty20 side, where he has claimed 86 wickets across 74 appearances.
Altogether, Lintott has taken 115 wickets in 104 career T20 games.
He joined Warwickshire on a three-year deal in January 2023 and signed a new one-year extension last May.
Warwickshire head coach Ian Westwood described Lintott as an outstanding ambassador for the club, highlighting his dedication both on and off the field.
'Jake has been a fantastic representative of the club, showing real pride in everything he does both on and off the field,' Westwood remarked.
He added, 'His professionalism and commitment are second to none, and he always gives his absolute all every time he plays.'
The coach concluded by expressing gratitude for Lintott's contributions and wishing him well ahead.
Jake Lintott's journey to becoming a professional cricketer followed a unique route, much like his bowling action.
He left his teaching position in Somerset to trial with Warwickshire in 2020 and secured a T20 agreement for the remainder of that season.
Lintott then earned a full-time contract in February 2021 and later helped Southern Brave win the inaugural Men's Hundred title that year.
His experience also includes stints in the Caribbean Premier League and Bangladesh Premier League T20 competitions, as well as representing England A.
Despite his T20 success, Lintott has featured in just three first-class matches.
During his time with Warwickshire, he took on a coaching role with the women's team ahead of their entry into the new professional structure last season.
In his own statement, Lintott reflected on his time at Edgbaston with deep appreciation.
'Playing for the Bears has been an absolute honour,' he said.
He called Edgbaston 'a special place' and added, 'As a kid, all I ever wanted to do was play professional cricket.'
Lintott continued, 'This club had faith in me when no one else did.
They gave me the opportunity to fulfil my dreams.
The last seven seasons have been some of the best years of my life and for that I will always be grateful.'
