Profile
Thomas Poynton made his first-team debut for Derbyshire during the 2007 Twenty20 group stages when James Pipe was injured. Although his first match lasted just 7.3 overs and in his next outing, against Yorkshire, he scored just three, the county still handed him a Championship debut in July against Middlesex. He made a pair batting at number eight, but at 17 he is a bright prospect. He began playing at the age of nine and singles out Adam Gilchrist as his hero. He represented England Under-17s in 2006, and is a positive character who has already learnt much since stepping up from the second team. A two-year deal at the end of 2007 capped a memorable season which has seen him make eight first team appearances in all competitions, impressing with his tidy work behind the stumps enough to see him labelled as a real star of the future.
