John Sadler (cricketer)
John Leonard Sadler is an English cricketer and cricket coach. He is the current assistant coach of Northamptonshire.
As a player, Sadler played county cricket for Yorkshire, Leicestershire and Derbyshire, and also represented the Yorkshire Cricket Board.
Sadler joined the Derbyshire coaching staff in January 2014 and took over as head coach on an interim basis in June 2016, following the departure of Graeme Welch. The club later confirmed Sadler would remain in charge for the rest of the season, with the possibility of him retaining the role on a permanent basis. After a spell on the Leicestershire coaching staff, he joined Northamptonshire for the 2020 season.
Sadler has cited former Leicestershire batsman Tom New as his idol.
