For Perry, one cricket season has just finished and another is about to begin.

The 18-year-old will jet out of Australia on Monday en route to England where he has signed on to play for Alford in the Lincolnshire County League.

The Wagga RSL leg spinning all-rounder will spend the English summer touring the east coast showing off his skill with bat and ball.

It's a big commitment for Perry, who has never travelled overseas.

He says he can't wait to jump on the plane.

"I'm really keen actually, but a bit nervous as well," Perry said.

To help with the transition, Perry's older brother Tom will make the trip as well and plans to spend the entire six months in England with Sam.

Perry follows in the footsteps of a number of other Wagga cricketers to play County and he has drawn on the experiences of the likes of Joel Robinson, Tim Cameron and Ethan Bartlett to prepare him for what lies ahead.

"They reckon the outfields and pitches are a lot better than anything in the Riverina," Perry said.

"And all the towns support their teams because that's what they love.

"To be honest I have absolutely no idea what the standard is like over there.

"Joel (Robinson) played in the same comp over there and said it's reasonably good, but it's probably changed since he was there too."

Perry will have no time to recover from the flight after landing in England on Wednesday week, as he has his first engagement with his new club three days later.

Perry also plans to sign up for a mid-week Twenty20 competition and will spend time coaching junior cricketers while in England.

He has organised to live with an Alford teammate and will work as a labourer during the week.

Perry has been accepted to start university next year but is undecided whether to study at Wagga or Canberra.

RSL will be hoping to retain the services of the talented teenager when the Wagga season resumes in October.
