Mark Harold Alan Footitt (born 25 November 1985) is an English cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and a left arm fast bowler who has played for Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Surrey.
Born in Nottingham, Footitt was initially spotted by Nottinghamshire as a 16-year-old, and impressed judges with his raw pace. Subsequently, coached by Chris Tolley, and mentored by Greg Smith and Ryan Sidebottom, on his first-class debut the seamer took 4/45 against Glamorgan and shared a 101 tenth-wicket partnership with Chris Read.
This was followed by a call-up to the England Under-19 squad for the series against Sri Lanka, but after making just nine first-class appearances for Nottinghamshire, he was released in August 2009 and signed by Derbyshire in November 2009.[1]
In 2015 Footitt was part of the squad for the English cricket team in South Africa in 2015–16 but did not play. On 1 August 2015, following the injury to James Anderson in the third test at Edgbaston, he was called up to the England 14-man 2015 Ashes squad, alongside Liam Plunkett.[2]
After turning down an extension to his Derbyshire contract, Footitt signed for Surrey in October 2015.[3]
In July 2017, Footitt was released from his contract with Surrey, and he returned to his birthplace and former team Nottinghamshire, signing a two-and-a-half-year contract.[4] In May 2018, he rejoined Derbyshire on a 28-day loan.[5] In July 2019, Footitt was released by Nottinghamshire having struggled to make an impact in his second stint at the club.[6]
