TRANSCO Lancashire League title hopefuls Nelson have been rocked by the news that Chris Harris won't be coming to Seedhill as professional this summer.

The New Zealand all-rounder and his wife are expecting their first child so family commitments and a possible tour of Sri Lanka would rule him out of too many games to make the move viable.

The 1998 and 1999 league champions will now re-launch their search for a professional with secretary Rod Marsden confirming: "Chris is very disappointed about it, as are we. We are looking for another pro and the cricket sub-committee will meet next week."
