Trevor Griffin Announces Departure as Head Coach of Somerset Women’s Team

Somerset Cricket has confirmed that Trevor Griffin will step down from his role as head coach of the women’s side at the end of the current season. Griffin, who has been at the helm since taking over in 2021, played a key part in shaping the team’s development during a period of significant change for the women’s game in the county.

During his tenure, Griffin oversaw the integration of emerging talent with more established players, helping to create a pathway for Somerset’s younger cricketers to move into higher levels of domestic competition. His coaching has been credited with not only improving individual performances but also building a stronger team culture and raising the profile of women’s cricket within the county.

Griffin, who has also worked with professional women’s teams at the regional and franchise level, said the decision to move on was not taken lightly but felt the timing was right for both him and the squad. “It’s been a privilege to coach this group of players, and I’m proud of what we’ve achieved together,” he said. “Somerset has a bright future in the women’s game, and I look forward to seeing these players continue to thrive.”

Club officials praised Griffin’s contribution, highlighting his commitment and the progress made under his leadership. They acknowledged that his influence had helped lay stronger foundations for the women’s program at Somerset, particularly at a time when the county game is becoming increasingly competitive with the expansion of regional structures.

Attention will now turn to appointing a successor, with Somerset expected to announce plans for the recruitment of a new head coach in the coming weeks. The goal will be to continue building on Griffin’s work and to ensure that Somerset women remain competitive in the evolving landscape of English domestic cricket.
