Career
He is a right-handed batsman and a right-arm offbreak bowler who played for Sussex and Derbyshire between 1996 and 1999. Most notable for a career high of 135 not out against the Peakites, it wasn"t long until they signed him for their own after he made such an impression in 1997 following the departures of six Sussex players. In the early stages of the younger Newell brother"s career, he appeared together with Keith in the Sussex strike-force, though as Keith left in 1998, so Mark left the same year.
