Yorkshire pace bowler Ben Coad has extended his contract until at least the end of the 2028 season.
The 31-year-old took a division-leading 56 wickets as the Headingley side won promotion back to Division One of the County Championship last season.
“I take real pride in representing my home county,” he told the club website.
“I’m incredibly excited for this next chapter at the club. We have a great set of young, talented cricketers coming through and I want to do all I can to help develop them and push the team to some silverware.”
New Yorkshire head coach Anthony McGrath, who signed a five-year contract in October, called Coad “one of the best bowlers in the country” and was “delighted” the deal had been done.
“The hard work he consistently puts in continues to pay off for himself and the team,” McGrath said.
“He is not just exceptional on the pitch, he’s a leader off it, too and his presence in the dressing room is crucial at a time when we’re reaching that next level.”
