Career
editTribe spent his early career at Farmers Cricket Club[1] and played for Jersey's age groups from 10 to 18.[2]
He broke into the Jersey senior squad in 2021, [1] making his debut against Germany in an ICC Men's T20 World Cup Europe Region Qualifier in Spain on 15 October.[3]
Tribe made his List A debut, for his country against Uganda on 5 August 2022, in the Cricket World Cup Challenge League B tournament held in Jersey.[4] Such was his impact at the tournament, which included making a century against Bermuda, he was named Player of the Series and subsequently won Jersey’s 2022 Cricketer of the Year award.[5]
Named as a member of Jersey's squad for the 2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier Play-off in Namibia,[6] he made his One Day International (ODI) debut on 27 March 2023, against Canada.[7] Later in the event, Tribe became the second Jersey cricketer to score an ODI century when he hit 115 not out from 143 deliveries against Papua New Guinea - teammate Josh Lawrenson was the first a few balls earlier in the same match.[8][9]
Now studying Sports Performance Analysis at Cardiff Metropolitan University, Tribe impressed in his performances for the institution's team in the British Universities and College Sports competition during the summer of 2023 and was offered the chance to play for Glamorgan County Cricket Club 2nd XI. In his four-day debut he scored 164 against Northamptonshire before making an unbeaten 126 against Gloucestershire, going on to amass 456 runs over the season's last four red ball games and being named the Glamorgan 2nd XI Player of the Year.[1][2][10]
In September 2023, he was part of the Jersey squad which won their group to reach finals week at the T10 2023 European Cricket Championship in Málaga, Spain.[11]
Tribe signed a two year rookie-contract with Glamorgan in October 2023.[12][1][13]
At the 2023 Channel Islands Sports Personality of the Year, Tribe won the Sure Rising Star award.[14]
On 16 June 2024, Tribe scored two T20I half-centuries in a day as Jersey defeated Denmark 2-0 in a bilateral series in Brondby. He scored 58 as the islanders chased 120 to win the first match by six wickets with 6.2 overs to spare and followed up by smashing 51 from 27 balls as they took the second game by 96 runs.[15][16]
