The versatile Jordan Thompson has signed a two-year contract extension with Yorkshire until the end of the 2025 County Championship season.
Thompson, born in Leeds, follows other local talents such as the English batsman Joe Root and crimper Ben Coad by committing to the county.
The 26-year-old has 108 wickets in first-class cricket and has represented Yorkshire in all formats.
“I love playing in front of our fans,” Thompson said.
“I hope my passion for representing my county resonates with them.
“I’m looking forward to the start of the season and I’m confident we have a successful season ahead of us.”
Thompson has also made an impact in whiteball cricket and played in The Hundred as part of the Northern Superchargers team in 2021 and London Spirit this summer. He also has 74 wickets and 691 carries at a strike rate of 154.6 in the T20 Blast.
Cricket chief executive Darren Gough added: “It’s fantastic that Jordan has committed his future to Yorkshire.
“He has been a consistent player for us for several years now and has improved every year.
“Having barely missed a game in 2022, his contributions with the ball and bat are so important to us and I’m sure he will continue to develop over the next few years.”
