DeBeer said: "I am really excited about being at Old Elthamians this year.
"There is such a great atmosphere here.
"The team look drilled, the attitude is fantastic and I think the league title will be making its way to Foxbury."
Recently awarded Focus Club status by the ECB in recognition of its investment in junior cricket, it is expected a record number of junior members will be signing up for the new season of competitive matches and coaching, with Friday junior club nights starting on May 2.
Junior section chairman Robin Driscoll said: "Over the past two years, we have seen a 100 percent increase in junior membership at the club.
"We welcome all age groups and abilities into our professional coaching programme and run eight highly inclusive junior sides to enable everyone to gain a taste of competitive cricket."
