Tom Poynton, the Derbyshire wicketkeeper, has announced his retirement from the game aged 26. Poynton was involved in a car crash in 2014 - in which his father was killed - and the ankle injury he sustained has continued to cause problems, prompting his decision to quit.Until last month, Poynton had been involved in every game for Derbyshire this season. However, the ankle flared up again and is expected to require further surgery, with Poynton deciding it will no longer hold up to the rigours of playing professionally.Its been a really difficult decision to retire from the game I love, but the medical diagnosis and advice means I know that its the right decision, Poynton said. Im grateful to everyone in the Derbyshire cricket family and further afield who have helped me during my career, both on and off the field.Ive loved playing for Derbyshire, a club Ive been associated with for over 10 years, and Im sad to leave. I now need to focus on the next stage of my life after cricket. Theres a few opportunities that Im going to pursue and Im excited about what lies ahead.Poynton came through Derbyshires academy, representing England Under-19s and going on to play more than 100 matches for the county. He made his Derbyshire debut aged 17 and in 2012 was involved in the third-highest ninth-wicket partnership in first-class history, putting on 261 with Wayne Madsen and scoring his maiden hundred.In all, Poynton scored 1155 runs in first-class cricket, to go with 107 catches and 10 stumpings. While recovering from his injuries during the 2014 season, he worked in the clubs marketing department.Derbyshires chief executive, Simon Storey, said: Tom is a model professional and leaves the club with a gap to fill on and off the field. He is a natural leader and fine cricketer who has overcome great personal tragedy in the process of representing his home county.He has shown huge commitment and courage to get back playing first-class cricket at Derbyshire and on behalf of the whole club - members, sponsors, supporters and staff - we all wish Tom every success in the future.
