Contents
Sussex
Rayner represented the Sussex first-team since 2006, having been an occasional part of the Second XI team since his debut in 2002.
Rayner hit a century in the first match of his first-class career, against the touring Sri Lankans, becoming the first Sussex player to do so for 86 years.[1] In spite of this strong start, the beginning of his County Championship career was shaky, though he put in an occasional good spell with the ball.
Generally speaking, Rayner occupies the lower order, while working on the reliability and consistency of his batting.
Middlesex
Rayner joined Middlesex on loan for the start of the 2011 season until mid-May.[2]
In August 2011, Rayner returned to Middlesex on loan for the remainder of the season.[3]
Rayner, 25, hit 266 runs and took 11 wickets in eight County Championship games for Middlesex during 2011.
On 11 October the all-rounder signed on a three-year deal after he impressed with his previous two loan spells.[4]
