Like his father, Steve, Joe Gatting was on the books at Brighton & Hove Albion for three seasons, but when offered a chance to join Sussex's cricket academy turned his back on football. He made an immediate impression as a top-order batsman when he scored a good hundred against Surrey in the pre-season Pro Arch Trophy in Abu Dhabi, and followed with a big hundred on his first-class debut against Cambridge UCCE.
