Despite his tender years Northamptonshire is David Wigley's third county. He began his career at Yorkshire, making his first-team debut in 2002, and moved to Worcestershire in 2003 in search of regular cricket. Opportunities at New Road were few and far between, and Wigley was on the move again in 2005 to Northamptonshire. 2006 was not a great year in the Championship for Wigley as he claimed just eight wickets in six matches at an average of over seventy.
