Tom Alsop is to bring the curtain down on five years at Sussex after agreeing a move to Gloucestershire at the end of the current season.
The 30-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman has made big contributions in both red and white ball cricket since arriving at Hove, initially on loan from Hampshire in 2022.
Alsop was a key member of the Championship side which achieved promotion to Division One in 2024, a season in which the T20 side made it to the Blast finals day.
He has also played Hundred cricket for Trent Rockets and Sunrisers Leeds as well as Big Bash with Brisbane Heat.
Speaking to the club website , both Alsop and head coach Paul Farbrace conceded Sussex's financial troubles have contributed to the move.
"Tommy is a high quality player and has shown that on many occasions, in all forms [of the game]. It is with sadness that our financial situation has made it necessary for Tommy to move on," said Farbrace.
Sussex, who have been docked points in all competitions and placed in special measures by the ECB for "sustained operating losses" are also under salary cap restrictions until 2028.
Alsop added: "It's with a heavy heart that I've made this decision, knowing that the picture is uncertain over my future here with the club's financial position.
"However, I've got to think about my family and what's best going forward with an offer from Gloucestershire CCC and as professional cricketer at my stage security is very important."
