He moved on loan to Surrey on 4th of August 2010. He had limited opportunities while playing for the first-team of Lancashire and got greater chance to play with Surrey as the team was struggling with injuries to the bowling attack.
Later on, he was again called back to Lancashire as the Captain and bowler Glen Chapple was out due to an injury and hence had to strengthen the bowling attack for Lancashire. Cheetham is a young fast bowler who basically relies on his wicket to wicket bowling. His physique is wonderful as a fast bowler.
