Hard-hitting opening batter Jason Roy will join up with the Northern Superchargers squad for the 2024 Men's Competition.

Roy replaces Brydon Carse, who will miss this summer's competition through serving a ban.

It will be the first time Roy has played for a team besides Oval Invincibles, having been a part of their squad since the start of The Hundred.

Roy scored 391 runs for Invincibles, the second-most in the team's history, and lifted the trophy in 2023.

Roy said:

"I can’t wait to join Northern Superchargers. It looks like we’ve got a really good group forming and the thought of playing for Freddie’s team is pretty exciting. You watch a bloke like him smash it when you’re a kid and it’ll be fun to work with him. I’d have been disappointed to have missed out on The Hundred so I’m glad to have got an opportunity, and I’m looking forward to getting up to Leeds and enjoying the competition."
